Leaves and birds

 I found this pic and remembered how neat it was

making leaves. Funny how fall leads to leaves.

Than I found some bird pics and need to get

going on my 2 pieces for the NICHES show.

I am doing them both with birds.

Marks pet scan had a good report yesterday.

 Now on to the surgery.

It was a beautiful day and today looks good also.

Now off to the studio to get something done. 

Outside here at the RIdge

 The tree behind the Catalpa tree is ablaze again 

this year. I love the movement of the black branches

against the bright fall colors.

 Last look at the pond.

It doesn't look like this right now.

We are going to make it a circle of rocks

with water bubbling out of the top of the ricks.

We cannot keep the algae out of it and it is a mess.

SO a bubbler with boulders in the plan for next summer.

Love the view to the west from the deck.

It never fails to sooth me.

Something about living in the country is good

for the soul.

Quiet.

Just us and the birds and the squirrels.

The raccoons, deer, possoms, snakes, golphers

and the coyoties.
