I Couldn't Help It

I couldn't help it.  Really I couldn't.  After taking my Toby dog to my daughter's for 2 weeks, he really didn't want to stay because Mac (the Husky) has grown considerably and he wants to play rough, a little too rough for Toby.  Hopefully they will come to terms on who is boss.  Anywho, since today is my last day here before I am off to Phoenix first, Palm Springs 2nd, whoo hoo I had to drive the long way home and just take one or two more pics of barns and the gorgeous colors that I know will be gone or darn close to it, by the time I return. 

Actually I took this pic last Friday on my way home from visiting my sweetie.... lightened & processed with a Kim Klassen texture.

But this was today...the skies were bluer than blue and the sun was low in the sky giving everything that wonderful glow.

I found these beauties right next to the bank....stopped for a couple of things at the grocery and these just screamed at me from across the parking lot...."please take my picture before you leave!!"  The sky had those wisps of white clouds making it look like I added a texture, but this was nature's paintbrush in action.

Now I really do have to end this and finish packing.  I am catching a rather early flight in the morn so the alarm will go off mighty early.  But I just have a feeling I won't be sleeping too much tonight.  Too much excitement coming my way.
