Okay- Here we go.
I am cleaning out my picture files
before Winter.
YOU poor people get stuck looking
at all my
RANDOM STUFF.
This is taken just North of us in beautiful
DOOR COUNTY, WI.
They call it the Maine of the Midwest.
Can you see the haze
toward the tops of the trees?
Across and up the road a piece was this barn
filtered by the haze in the air....
This was taken from about 1/3 mile away
and then cropped.
I just realized that looks almost like
a painting.
That is what happens when you
have a cheap camera.
Two weeks ago two little sisters
spent an afternoon by the Bay.
It is getting too cold
to sit down on the beach now.
There was a migration of birds.
THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS
OF BIRDS.
They flew in a steady stream for almost
a half hour.
We have never seen this particular bird here before.
AND- we have never seen birds fly this low.
There were mere inches above the waterline.
The actually created a ripple on the water
from the wind from their wings.
I have hydrangeas drying all over the place.
These are poked all over an old birdcage to dry.
Yeah- I know- I enlarged the picture
AND look at the watermark.
Don't like big watermarks?
Shut your mouth eyes and move on, m'kay?
Well, that's my FIVE.
Guess that is all the pain I can put you through today.
But- I can't resist this night shot
taken over the Bay- this would be from
our family room window.
The bright orange on the lower left is a
lit pumpkin garland on the playhouse fence.
On a clear night like this one you can see the shore
across from us.
AND
My Hero is out of town for a seminar.
Whooo Hoooo...
I may or not behave myself
long enough to get around to visiting
a few blogs.
The foliage is gorgeous ...and you always crack me up. This was a fun mix of catch-up! :)
ReplyDeleteDiana, I always love your photos. The two girls is a cute one. I love that they wear their hair bows. Don't be so bad that it gets in the papers, or Hero will know. :):) Blessings for a fun filled weekend, xoxo,Susie
ReplyDeleteRandom is good. Have a fun time on your own. Do you need supervision?
ReplyDeleteLOL always that cute, funny twist at the end! You are so good at that! And I can never guess what's coming!
ReplyDeleteYour shots are lovely - your lakefront setting - wow!
Good catch up photos I may need to swipe that idea soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the leaves on the tree, we were out for a while yesterday and just a few trees have turned.
Living by a lake would be nice!
beautiful beautiful photos!!!! You better be good while hubby is away, no spray painting in the kitchen, I can just imagine the antics you could get up to!
ReplyDeleteDon't behave - I love it when you don't! And i love your photos of the foliage area around you! Very pretty!
ReplyDeleteThose birds hovering over the water caught my interest. We are just happy with a few ducks on our pond. Don't do anything I would not do ;)))) Linda@Wetcreek Blog
ReplyDeleteGorgeous foliage. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful night shot over the water, Diana. I use the time my hubby is out of town to look through my new magazines undisturbed, catch up on my recorded shows and I might even throw an afternoon nap in there!
ReplyDeleteI love the moonlight on the water! Beautiful foliage, too. Have fun while being unsupervised!
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the trees are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe colors of the trees are gorgeous. Have a great and wonderful week end to yourself. I am so jealous.

Oh what magnificent painted leaves. My watermark is large but I made it more transparent over the past few posts. Gorgeous view you have, love the photo with the Orange reflection and the moon. Your Grands are adorable. Have a fun weekend hero-less!

What a fun post. Love the color on the trees. Not here for us yet. We have a few weeks to go. Our trees are still green. Enjoy your Friday!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, you make me smile and you make me jealous. To be surrounded by such gorgeous scenery that is breathtaking. Great photos. I think it's kind of cool that the barn pic looks like a painting.
ReplyDeleteHave fun! Use your time wisely! ;-)
Happy Friday, Diana! Stay out of trouble, if you can.:-) xo Nellie
ReplyDeleteHi Diana, thanks for sharing the pretty photos. BEHAVE this weekend!
ReplyDeleteI love Door County. And I would never tire of the view out your window. Beautiful...
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy random little pictures like this. I love seeing pics of fall around the country. We really don't have a lot of fall color changes down here. Try not to get into too much trouble this weekend while you're unsupervised. ;)
ReplyDeleteHow amazing to see all of those migrating birds! WOW! Love your random photos....I need to do that at the end of each month! Happy weekend! Hugs!
ReplyDeleteYou got some great pictures. I especially liked the girls sitting down by the Lake. Now behave your self and don't do anything that I wouldn't do.....
ReplyDeleteyou might get into trouble. Have a great weekend Diana.

There are so many times I say that I wish I had brought my camera with me. Looks like you always remember to bring yours. I love the one of the girls by the lake and the fall leaves are beautiful. Hope you have a nice weekend.

ReplyDeleteDear Diana, I enjoyed the photos that you shared. It is getting chilly, Cold here too. Have a nice weekend. Blessings, Catherine
ReplyDeleteMaybe the birds were flying low catching bugs just on or above the surface. Did you see fish jumping? I love those misty calm water days. Beach is at it's best when it cooler and no one is there. Hope you get out visiting.
ReplyDeleteJanice
