Found items

As light as....

Not being a "tool" sort of person, I can only guess what this would be used for. Anyone else know?

Party, party!!

Always found during Fall.

The nature of things

A marvelous harvest moon

Garden spider in stripes

Ring-around-the-rosy?

Who could resist this face?

Gathering of leaves

Such glorious fall days ~

Feathery mix

I wonder what bird left this?

Northern Flicker annoyed at our interruption.

Why a duck...

Cattails (Typha) on the wind

Something completely different

While attending a concert at the local philharmonic, we came across a couple of unusual phrases in the program guide:

"The piano plays short fragments that coagulate into the main theme of the finale..."

(Thank god the fragments coagulate; we certainly wouldn't want the finale to bleed to death)

"After the customary recapitulation, the composer launches an enormous coda..."

(Our cat has been known to launch an enormous coda from time to time)

A few scenes we came across during the weekend--

Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil?

 

As always, your comments welcome...

Looking through

Looking up

At sunset

Feathered friends

Still blooming

From the Rose Garden in Julia Davis Park.

Warning

This is serious! We mean it! "Absolutey"!!

Small creatures

I think this is a type of dragonfly. Love the way its wings sparkle in the light.

Not sure what kind of moth this is, but it was definitely happy in these purple blossoms.  

In the upper right, there's a bee buzzing its way to a Trumpet Vine tubular.

And soon we'll go out for an evening walk amidst the sound of frogs and crickets.

Rose glow

In memory of Mom.

Soaring...

 

 

In remembrance.

Moving into Fall

The days become shorter. 

Day lilies bloom. This would make a lovely stained glass window.

The change of season may bring a change of fashion.  

And the daisy family reigns in the garden.

Gone wild

This white duck must have gotten bored with life on the farm. Or perhaps it escaped the butcher's hatchet just in time..... 

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
