Previously on October 5th I shared with you Cramerton’s newly installed Story Walk in Goat Island Park and Greenway along with John Steiner (host of CellPic Sunday). The first Storybook was called “School is more than a Building” written by Kelley Donner. At the time I had not realized the Storybooks would be changing periodically. You may click to view the previous post hereand view John’s CellPic Sunday post about the Storybook Walk here.
When Coleman and I went walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway last Sunday we discovered the Storybook for the Storybook Walk had been changed to “The Acorn & The Oak” written by Rhonda Accardo.

If you ever get the opportunity to be near the Charlotte, North Carolina area, Goat Island in Cramerton is just a short drive south of the Airport. I would highly recommend stopping by to visit this lovely Greenway and take a walk along the Storybook Walk on the paved trail.

This week Terri, host of Sunday Stills is offering the challenge prompt of Monthly Colour Challenge in Any Shade of Brown and/or Gray. I’ve scoured through my photos for shades of Brown, I have discovered many of them are from This Trail, That Trail & Trails Over There.
Terri, host of Sunday Stills has challenged us to show our #Leaf colours. In our area are #Leaves have slowing been displaying their Autumnal colour schemes. Sunday we had a beautiful Sun Shiny day with a high in the low 70’s°, unlike the past couple of days with highs only in the upper 40’s° and freeze warnings.
With a rare warm sunny day Coleman and I meandered down to Goat Island Park and Greenway for a hike along the River Link Greenway to check out the amazingly gorgeous Autumn colours vibrantly painted throughout the trail.
Here are a selection of images from our hike #Leaf Peeping through the Greenway …

The Anolis carolinensis (Green Anole) is a tree-dwelling species of anole lizards native to the Southeastern United States. It is small to medium-sized a trunk-crowned ecomorph green anole which can change its colour to several shades from brown to green. It is sometimes referred to as American chameleon due to its colour-changing ability, but it is not a true chameleon.
Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis)
The dewlap is usually pink for Anolis carolinensis and is very rarely present in females. The color of the dewlap is variable and different from the lizard eye to the human eye. Green anoles are thought to be capable of seeing a larger range of the UV spectrum, and that the dewlap reflects ultraviolet light to attract mates.

Next Week’s Theme: CWWC: Any Which Way with Autumn Colours
Walking through Goat Island Park and Greenway was/is a fantastic way to unwind and reflect on the goodnesses I have been blessed with throughout my life and in the environment I currently dwell. God is so good, He’s so good to me. His artistic creations and colour palette are displayed in all the different places we meander through here on earth. The changing colour scheme with every season keeps me in awe of his mighty power to make all things new and beautiful in His time.
This season of change from Summer to Autumn the colours have become more subdued and neutral bringing out the amazing shades of brown, tan, red, and orange. Today, however, I am picturing signs of Autumn as seen through a black and white colour palette.

Conoclinium coelestinum also known as Blue Mistflower is a native perennial wildflower. It has fuzzy blue or violet flowers that bloom from late summer to frost. [These just recently popped up in the last week after lots of rain and thunderstorms.]
It is a member of the Asteraceae family. It was formerly classified in the genus Eupatorium, but phylogeneticanalyses in the late 20th century research indicated that that genus should be split, and the species was reclassified in Conoclinium.
The Blue Mistflower is native to the eastern part of the United States of America from New York down to Florida and west to Nebraska and Texas. It can grow up to three (3) feet tall and spreads quickly to form dense groundcover.
This species prefers moist soils and can be found in wood edges, sandy woodlands and clearings, wet meadows and stream banks. It can thrive in a variety of light conditions ranging from shade to full sun. [With the tropical storms and thunderstorms we’ve been experiencing the ground is extremely wet making the conditions viable for the growth of the Blue Mistflower.]

Elke from pictures imperfect blogis the host for this week’s Monochrome Madness. She has chosen a theme of Pets. I personally do not have any Pets. Most of the places I have lived over the years have not allowed for Pets. My family did have a few different dogs over the years. Unfortunately I do not have any photos of them. The one I remember the most was a Chihuahua Dachshund, that I would walk around our neighborhood.
Now to show you an array of Pets owned by family members, neighbours, strangers, or stray animals.
