a glimpse into my day

off to get a massage, my teeth cleaned, and other errands in town.  (I picked up a package in town with goodies created from my art - thank you, mysterious gift giver, it was a lovely surprise and it arrived on a day when I more than ever appreciated this kind gesture :-)

getting ideas for future art projects...they seem to hit me more than ever when I'm on this stretch of road.

back home again, a walk with the dogs at twilight.

some of the leaves on this black cottonwood are as big as a plate, see...?

the eagles have arrived just in time for the salmon run - i hope they find some.

i love the contrasting colors this time of year, the textures too are so vivid.

trees next to the river

tress.......

somebody's halloween pumkin

our house in the distance

 

this year there are no apples scattered on the ground, they disappear by morning, replaced by huge "piles" - evidence we have a bear roaming the fields. i like that they are still around...

I'm listening to this,  this and  this silly video tickled my funny bone and gave me a good chuckle over a cup of tea this morning.

what a magical place to live! Have you visited the horses yet with sugar and carrots? My favorite pic is the pumpkin in the river ;) Have a great weekend.

without a doubt i am sure that you live in the most wonderful place there is. the moss on the trees brought tears to my eyes. it looks to be powerfully good! sending hugs to you!

Isn't it wonderful to appreciate the world through artist eyes?

Somehow that pumpkin at the water's edge really got to me: the poor thing wandered very far to quench its thirst. And who wouldn't be thirsty if their head was filled with candles and put on display out on the porch?

Seriously, though, the black lace of tree branches against the sky always looks like a net for stars to fall into.

Thanks for sharing.

those trees are so amazing with all the growth on them. i always love taking a walk (or ride) with you here. all the colors and textures and beauty and everything right there where you live... a magical place for sure. xoxo

I love the Northwest in autumn. The skeletons of trees against the slate skies, the glorious flames of the leaves, the brilliant sun, the wild wind, the rain in all it's forms. It's wonderous and your photos capture it perfectly.

I love your surroundings. Bears, oh my. I might not love that, but the rest. Yes, definitely the rest. Love seeing nature....
