Photos by the Granddaughter

 I gave my camera to my granddaughter to take photos on Sunday.  Though she didn't always have them in focus she captured the colors of the season.











She even took my picture.

Another Wednesday Walk

 

My Wednesday walking group met last week to walk in the woods close to our host's house. Here are just four views from that day.

An old stone wall.


the trail in the woods.


A dry creek bed falling down the hill.


Returning to our start.


One of the members turned back early and assured us that she knew the way.  When we returned to our cars, her car was still there.  No sign of her.  We almost were at the point of retracing our steps or calling 911 when one person drove down the road and came upon Penny.  She'd gotten lost and came out at another point.  Apparently she's done this before so it was resolved to never let her travel alone.

Today we are going a bit farther away for a nice hike around a lake and then lunch.

New Puzzle

With cold weather here a puzzle appears that I work on a little bit at a time.


I've sorted two colors, brown and blue, into bowls and will do those last.


I put a quarter down to show you the puzzle piece size.  I wish they were bigger.  1000 of them and I'll handle all of them to get this done.

Random

First up: this squirrel devouring the head of a sunflower I tossed in the fire pit.  I didn't think there was anything left to eat after the goldfinches had it. 




Next: turkeys in the field behind us. Heading to munch on fallen apples.




A new mown field.


Color in the trees.



And a cow in the field up the road.
