Phone Call

A kayaker braved the chilly day and cold water on the Portage River, but had to pull over to make a phone call. (Below the Boys' Dam in Three Rivers.)

Skywatching the Moon

I'm all wound up for tonight's opening of an art show in which I am participating, but on my way out this morning I was able to catch the moon in the sunrise sky over Three Rivers.

Skywatch Friday gives you a glimpse of skies around the world, find links to this week's participants at http://skyley.blogspot.com/.

Three Rivers Truck

It has been quite a while since I have seen so many bumper stickers in one place as on this pickup truck that I spotted here in town!

Leaves, all shed

This enormous oak in the park has dropped all of its leaves. For scale, that's a horse tied up just behind and to the right of the tree. Some maples and elms still have leaves, and of course the various non-native plants decorating the parking lot continue to be baffled as to which season it is.

Aftermath

After the fall colors the leaves fall, and after the leaves fall there is raking, sweeping, blowing -- and, where still legal, burning.

Happy Birthday, Kathleen!!

Passing by

On the highway yesterday, in traffic, we were passed by -- a horse-drawn Amish buggy! Old order, best in black & white. In the background is a gas (petrol) station -- something the oat-burner gets to skip.

Doorway

This fallen tree describes a door into the woodland - or maybe into a place of your imagination...
