shredded wheat, sort Of




Ready for winter, our cattle ranching friends have stockpiled hay to feed their stock. The big rolls always remind me of Muffets shredded wheat cereal from childhood. Favorite, favorite.

on a Picnic

Even the leaves enjoy sitting at a streamside picnic table, basking in the sunshine and listening to watermusic.

yellow Taxi

The yellows were so astounding I made a quick turnaround and went back to catch it. Man, I am glad I carry a camera some days.

epic Failure

Just wandering along Rapid Creek yesterday, taking photographs on a lovely fall afternoon. I found the path blocked in one of my favorite spots,  It was an epic failure for the local beavers. They had selected a tasty cottonwood to harvest, but had an engineering problem. Unless beavers can jump about 8 feet in the air, all they provided was a squirrel bridge across the creek rather than lunch for themselves. My Architect-in Residence informs me it is indeed a "gnawing problem" about what to do now for said furry engineers.

first, there was a Flower

This time of year a pumpkin's "cheeks" are the focus of our admiration, searching for the perfect place to create the face of a Jack-o-lantern. I found its nether end was the coolest mix of textures and colors where the blossom had done its work, disappeared and left a mosaic.

overnight Changes

Saturday morning last week we were in shirtsleeves at the Pumpkin Festival and Weigh-in. This Saturday morning the frost is definitely on the pumpkin, or more accurately, the SNOW is on the pumpkin and other things.
