exploring the beauty of changing seasons

With the time change looming, I'll need to adjust my fish to a new feeding schedule, courtesy of the bi-annual clock shuffle.

As the seasons change, I've been making the most of the time left with my backyard hummingbirds, feeding them as much as I can. Their big migration to Central America is just around the corner, and I want to make sure they're well-prepared for the long flight ahead. It's also a good time for me to receive fish shipments, with the temperatures being more moderate.

It would be amazing to see some pictures or videos of those hummingbirds before they migrate.

I'm not looking forward to the cold, but I am ready to break out the warm clothing.

No pics or vids, sorry to say.

As many of us keep tropical fish, our locations experience drastic seasonal changes. I was cleaning up in my backyard after the hurricane and realized it's nearly time for my outdoor Daphnia to shut down due to the weather.

I'll soon have to test the few heaters I use, and I've already had to close windows that were open since Spring. The dehumidifier will need attention again. I've cleaned the baseboard heaters that haven't been on since April and washed the windows in my garage fishroom. This time of year, I inspect equipment and review breeding projects since I won't be spending as much time outdoors.

Autumn means an increase in fish sales and local clubs resuming meetings. I'm aware this varies in other areas. Autumn is a season I enjoy, but I'm less fond of what follows it. What preparations do you make for the changing seasons?

Amusing, graye, I nearly chimed in with "pictures or didn't happen" on your Africa thread, but I wasn't sure how well you'd receive the humor.
