I would like to publicly thank . . .

. . . my dog, Augie.  If not for my daily walks about town with him, I don't believe I would appreciate all the hard work  done by Mother Nature.

I don't know if this morning was so fan-friggin'-tastic because it just was or if it made me tear up because I knew tomorrow and the days to follow were going to suck the big one.

The light was amazing, the shadows were soft and the reflections on the water took my breath away.  Ok, too much?  I don't care.










I'm only sorry that I didn't get a picture of the lonely goose that swam by and the funky kingfisher that skimmed the water's surface.

    1. Hey, everybody! That's my cousin, Ter, there. Woohoo! He actually read my blog and then actually commented on it. I'm sure it had nothing to do with me harassing him last Sat. Right, Ter?

  2. Great pics, Ellen! I sure dislike what lies ahead. I am not a winter person :(

    1. Nor am I, Harriet. I hate the white stuff. I feel trapped by it. We don't have a good relationship.

  5. Beautiful pictures. We see that lonely goose, think it has a broken wing :( Kingfishers are fascinating to hear and watch

    1. Jannie - I didn't know kingfishers had a distinctive call. I hope to hear it one day.

  7. Yes, I remembered that morning, too! The view from our deck was gorgeous and the reflections on the river seemed especially clear. Ed may have taken some shots, but they surely aren't as beautiful as yours!
