Out of Sequence ... But Must Be Mentioned

Mother, Adelaide Atkin celebrated her 95th birthday on September 21st.  Lots of family around to celebrate with her.  Let's do it again, same time, same place, next year!

How Did It Get To Be October 25 Already?

I am always amazed by how quickly the weeks go by.  I keep thinking I must update my blog. Then I forget about it for a while. Here we are, almost at the end of October.  These last several weeks the country side has been ablaze with colour. The oranges and reds were so vibrant I could feel them. I would get "goose bumps" when the light was just right.

Blue Moon plus one day

Do you remember the words from a song..." Blue Moon, I saw you standing alone..."

Here is my Blue Moon, plus one day.......  the reflection from the setting sun gave it a lovely pink tone.
As the light from the sun set faded, the moon became orange/gold......

Little Birds Should Wear Name Tags

This little one has been in one of the trees in the yard for a couple of days, given that he seems to be with a adult that looks like a common yellow warbler, I'm guessing that it may be one as well.....

However, there is no name tag..... who knows?    He/She is pretty cute anyway.

All Dressed Up Like A Painted Lady

I knew there was a reason I have just let the oregano grow wild........

 It is a favourite food of the Painted  Lady Butterfly

August Moon

Summer is quickly sliding by... we have had some lovely days, and clear sky at night.  The setting sun is sometimes upstaged by a rising moon.... here is an example.

The first shot the moon seems to be stuck on a tree limb, but apparently freed itself to show up as a full moon the following night... even if it did hide behind some cloud as I was taking its photograph.

Most of May has been wet and cold.... not my favourite....  but  this is what one can find on a warm day in May.
