Preview of Fall

This video is from my archives and it makes me eager for those pleasant days of Autumn.

Music:  "Known Only to Him" by Elvis Presley

From his album, "He is My Everything"

Blooming Right on Time

Today was my day to go into town, buy groceries, run errands and stop by and visit my sisters.   As I was getting ready to leave, Helen said, "wait, I want to show you something".   We went down in the den and this is what she wanted me to see!

Isn't it just gorgeous??? 

She turned it around, and this is the other side of her beautiful Christmas Cactus.

Helen and I went to see our other sister, Allene, and she served us some delicious hot spiced tea.  I didn't make any pictures at her house, but while there we noticed the sky getting ready for what could be a pretty sunset. 

By the time I had driven about 5 miles toward home, the sky was getting colorful.  I stopped by the lake and made a few pictures.  I didn't have the lens that I needed on my camera, but wanted to capture a little of this pretty sky anyway.  The eastern sky was almost as colorful as the west.

This is a shot in a different direction.  I made some of the geese, but they were not good enough to post.

Wishing all of you a very Merry Christmas!

Afternoon at 'My' Lake

I can call this 'my' lake as long as nobody else is there! The trees are past their peak, but I still found lots of color.



Today, I was thankful for the beauty and solitude of this place.
