Stealing Time
It's a busy Saturday today, but I stole twenty minutes to go down to the river this morning and see what I could see. Today - it was eagles.
They flew past me up the river, like they were traveling their own super highway.
They congregated in a grove of trees near me. From a distance they were just dark shapes. I had fun listening to them as they called to each other, and only wished I had more time. But I'll take what I can get!

Dancing in November
I saw these yellow flowers along a weedy hedgerow a few weeks ago.
What were they thinking - blooming so late in the year? Didn't their plant genes tell them that the killing frost would be here soon - that they should hunker down?
Instead, they flaunted their delicate blossoms, richly colored, and laughed into the teeth of winter.
Bravo!!!
I have know people like this, who gave their all - even as the sun rapidly set on their span of days. They donned their best gowns, and finest fabrics - and went to the ball! They refused to be told that it was "too late" in the season for what they meant to do.
I hope we all dare to dance in our Novembers.

Study in Black and White
I took these photos for the bird, but in the end, I liked the entire composition of each photo more than just the bird itself. So here they are, a study in black and white:

Fields of Gold
I found this field of gold when I was out last weekend:
It was such a deep, rich golden-yellow that I could not help photographing it, even if it is just a corn field that's been mowed over.
Here's another picture to give you a little more perspective of the scene:
It seems that in this time of the year (late fall, and winter), my eye is drawn to color - any color! So today, you get fields of gold!
