picture fall, week three...

These are the images for week three. There are days that I definitely have to think about the prompt for a while before something comes to me.

"messages" - my father's favorite expression:

"juxtaposition" - things have changed a bit since I saved my allowance to buy my first Beatles album when I was nine.

"bounty" - my nephew so happy to be able to collect fall leaves




















"muse" - since my children grew up, my muse is nature. This butterfly let me get so close with the macro that her spots are bokeh.

"scattered" - wanted an authentic scattered rather than setting something up. This box of candles seems to follow us around from table to table when we are outside.

"connections"




















"serving up kindness" - a night meeting for WB so we met for a very early dinner.

it's finally pumpkin time...

Pumpkins make me happy. I don't know if it is because it means the beginning of fall or it is just inborn if one happens to have an October birthday. I have been to Trader Joe's three times to get them and I haven't even spotted the white ones yet. They will make me happy all the way through Thanksgiving weekend. Then we'll roast the seeds and leave the rest for the bunnies to enjoy.

Lovely leaves from my lovely, too-far-away daughter who collected and preserved them for my birthday last year. She knows her mama well.




















Pumpkins make me happy.
