This or That Thursday #1
Deb over at Deb Duty.com, a lovely blog, I might add, has started a new challenge on Thursdays entitled "This or That Thursday". I am joining with one of my most absolute favorite things to photograph....red berries. Now is the time of year that they begin to show off their beauty. The ultimate is red berries with snow brushing their tops, but that will come later. Much later, I hope. Another favorite is Kim Klassen's textures, so an image of red berries with a KK texture is giga-awesome to me.

What I Did on Wednesday
As I type this I am also watching "Modern Family", so funny, makes me laugh out-loud. This is a tough week, trying to cram all the new TV shows in to see which ones I want to continue to watch. I admit I am a TV freak when the new shows begin, anticipation each night. No wonder I have a hard time falling asleep after the excitement of another new show. I never watched "Buffy..." with Sarah Michelle Gellar and wondered what all the hype was over her new show, "Ringer" so decided to check it out. I'm hooked, it's been awhile since I have watched a good night-time soap opera, and I think this may be it. I did watch "Desperate Housewives" for a few years, but then it got so silly I gave myself permission to stop watching. Old favorites like Dancing with the Stars, The Good Wife, Grey's Anatomy, Body of Proof, (did ya notice they all have strong women characters) will remain on my "must watch" list, but I am excited to add more. What are your favs and have you added anything new to your list of "must see TV?"
Today was an absolutely take-your-breath-away kinda day. The skies were brilliant blue, the temps were pleasant, a slight breeze blowing, as close to perfect as a day can be. I could take these for at least 3 more months, what do you think the odds are for that happening? A person can dream, right? But then, on the other hand, if it was always this nice we would not appreciate the good days when they happen to come along. After Bible Study I took me and my camera down to the Riverwalk to enjoy the weather and see what beauties I could find behind the lens.
The roses were still blooming.....the intensity of that red one really is quite stunning. I find it difficult to capture the true beauty of reds with my camera, but trust me, it was spectacular.
The geese were quite noisy, no I think the right word is LOUD. I am not sure what was going on but they seemed to be picking sides and if you weren't part of the inner circle you were chased away rather unkindly (see above).
The leaves are beginning to take on their autumn hues before leaving us again until spring...
This sweetie spotted me with my camera and wanted her picture taken, a very willing model. Can you see the blue sky reflected in her eyes?
Love the innocence of children and how something as simple as feeding the ducks can bring such joy!!
The tastiness of the millet had this bird posing long enough for me to snap a shot.
Do you think this Dad could have handled one more child?? Maybe on his back....
Even more indications that Fall is right at our heels.....
These red berries against that blue sky were like manna from heaven.
Everywhere I walked there were signs....signs that summer has slipped behind and fall is taking the lead.
I am sure these two ladies were sharing their thoughts on "Dancing with the Stars".....
Now doesn't this look like a picture-postcard kinda day....Everyone should take the time to stop and smell the roses, enjoy the glory of nature, spend time with a friend, take a walk with your children, listen for the sound of the birds, and "Remember this - that very little is needed to make a happy life." ~ M Aurelius
