I had a few leftover photos that I liked and thought I would post, but they are a few weeks old now. I was thinking they were all from October, but as it turns out, only one of them was taken in October, and on the 31st at that. Oh well, I still kind of like the post title I came up with and I don’t want to think of a new one. 🙂
October 31st: I tried to get a good shot of these baby deer during the summer when they still had their spots, but never managed. When the young ones are with them, the adults seem to keep them on the move.
Nov 1st: Is this a chickadee? Looks like one but I never seem to hear them calling like I used to at home. Of course, just because I don’t hear doesn’t mean they aren’t singing I suppose. I wanted to get a shot of this guy in the tree, because the colorful leaves made a nice backdrop. They don’t stay still for long though, which makes it hard to get a clear shot, so this is the best I could do (taken through the front window of course).
Nov 3rd: I took this from the front step. They don’t seem to mind you walking around in the area of the feeder, as long as you don’t get too close. We can’t keep the peanut feeder full. I filled it last weekend on Sunday, and when I got home from work on Tuesday I noticed it was empty.
This is often my view these days:
When the cooler weather rolls around, Zappa seems to think that my job is to provide a warm lap. He’s quite insistent in fact.
Yesterday we were out running around in the afternoon, and it was a balmy 11 degrees. I quite enjoyed it. It cooled off overnight, we actually saw snowflakes in the air today. The cats keep going back and forth between the patio door and their cat door in the basement as if they are looking for a magical doorway to warmer weather. They’ll adjust, of course, but it was rather a drastic difference.
I started a new song in my piano lessons last week. When I played it in this week’s lesson, my young piano teacher said the song sounded familiar, though she didn’t recognize the title. I replied that if she’s ever seen or heard anything about Hawaii, I’m sure she would have heard this song.
For my part, I had a flashback to elementary school. Some kind of show in the school library, where we had “grass skirts” made out of garbage bags and did a hula dance. No details other than that, but I remember the skirts.
