Listening

Darby listening to the leaves falling.

Dirt

The sun came out today, and I made the most of it. Although it doesn't look quite as lush in the photo, this dirt was a lovely mix of potting soil and compost. I spread it out over the flower beds at the front. Afterwards, I put together the leaf blower and made a lot of noise.

Shopping

It's been so gloomy and overcast lately. Managed to drag myself out to do some shopping this afternoon. Must start taking Vitamin D.

Night Light

Cheetos

All kinds of orange-y goodness abounds.

Angel

While picking up the neighbour's mail, I spotted this bird feeder hanging from a tree.

Late Night

Darby assumes the position.

Arts & Crafts

Since the seasons have changed, I thought I would knit a scarf.

Bloom

The Christmas cactus is set to explode in blooms way ahead of schedule.

Tip Jar

Does

These gals have been regular visitors this weekend.

Bird on Deck

There was something wrong with this bird. It seemed stunned and let me get far too close with the camera. In the end, I left it to recover and it did eventually fly away.

Sunrise

I don't usually take a tripod with me on my morning walks, which makes taking nice sharp pictures tricky. This was taken near the only level surface I could find that morning, which was a park bench behind some bushes.

Snow

Never a happy sight in October, but I love the pattern it drifted into on the tiles.

Rain Gauge

After weeks of sunshine and record temps, the weather took a turn for the worse.

Tylenol Bottle

I've had a lot of headaches recently, which is why I'm keeping the bottle close at hand.

Ladybug

One of the last ladybugs of the season sunning itself on the cedar fence.

Macro

Yet another pink carnation

Changing Leaves

A lazy shot taken from the car as I drove down Whiteswan.

Signs of Autumn

It's been unseasonably warm this month, but the leaves are slowly starting to change here and there. Spotted this cluster while out walking Darby.
