Day 335 - Rainy, hazy end of November

November is leaving us with a rainy, hazy, wet day that football fans watching the east coast games noticed. Since I have no leaves to watch, I have removed my leaf watch and added a winter watch where I will occasionally post photos of signs that winter is here The first is a winter flag that greets visitors to our front door..

Day 334 - Light from down under

No, David did not send me a box of light from Melbourne. I put a photo flood under our glass table with a black cloth around the glass ball, just to get a back lit subject. For another view of the ball, see my January 27 post.

Day 328 - Feline visitors

Two of Marianne's old friends stopped for the night on their way back home to Massachusetts from Tennesse with their cats. Mr. Blue (above) and Precious (with him below) made themselves right at home. Our shy cats mostly hid while these two explored and played.

Day 327 - More squirrels

Two squirrels were working the acorn supply when I went out to get the mail. They watched me and posed for the camera, then busily went searching for more acorns.
