A few more pictures for the changing seasons. Winter clouds. They look like dinosaur ribs to me, cold dinosaur ribs, as they only show up in the winter.

Then the Pyracantha bush has its winter red berries on display. I returned to the Pyracantha bush yesterday and took a few more photos.

Just a few brown leaves left

We have mostly two seasons in central Texas: a long, hot summer and then some winter. There are a few nice days in the autumn and spring thrown in, but usually we are at work inside an office building when that happens so we miss most of those two seasons.

The leaves don’t change colors gradually, they mostly turn brown all of a sudden and with one big twist and shake, they drop, much like the Whomping Willow in the Harry Potter stories.

We do have some true winter signs, like winter berries. (I don’t know the name of this bush.)

One of the hard-to-get-used-to things here is the change in temperatures. One day the low is in the 70s and the next day the low is in the 20s.
