Thanks for Thanksgiving Break! I can actually enter some pictures! P.S. I also caught up with 'Old Fashioned' (#40) if anyone cares to look.

Old Fashioned: Our 'new' barn

Photo Challenge #36

When the white eagle of the North

Is flying overhead

And the browns, reds and golds of autumn

Lie in the gutter, dead

Remember then, the summer birds

With wings of fire flaying

Come to witness Spring's new hope

Born of leaves decaying

Just as new life will come from death

Love will come at leisure

Love of love, love of life

And giving without measure

Give in return a wondrous yearn

Of a promise almost seen

Live hand-in-hand

And together we'll stand

On the threshold of a dream....

--The Moody Blues

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream. - Edgar Allen Poe

Imperfection

Sorry it's been a while. The correct assumption is that school has started.

What a blessing!

This last weekend we had a wonderful family get-together. Jonnie and Kimmy came from Michigan for a friend's wedding, and Dave and Mandy came from Minnesota because everyone else was going to be home. Chris and Jenny came up from Sheboygan on Saturday and Sunday, Adri was home, and Josh was home for the weekend.

As you can see from the picture, that makes quite a crew! Mom and I, six kids, four in-law kids, and nine grandkids (number 10 is expected in November) make for a joyful houseful.

BIG and little

By nature I am an opportunistic photographer. However unaccustomed I might be to taking contrived pictures, this challenge presented a challenge to serendipity. P.S. This is a full color photo.

I Love ...

...the promise of a new day...














...watching kids play, and...














...'shooting' wildlife.
