I love October - not only because it is fall but for Thanksgiving (in Canada it is the second Monday of the month) and Hallowe'en. Pumpkins are already for sale - although we haven't bought ours yet. I do love carving them.
Here's the display of pumpkins at our local Sobey's today - there were even white pumpkins!

Sharing with:

and

Theme Thursday - where the Theme is Pumpkins

As there was a full moon on Sunday, I thought I'd share a full moon photo from last year.(it was too cloudy Sunday to get a decent photo)

I love peacock feathers - for the colour, the size, the intricacy. A student gave these to me many years ago after a visit to an exotic farm.

Here are some of my favourite sunsets.

Sky Watch Friday

Time to share our skies for Sky Watch Friday. The past couple of days with temperatures soaring (almost 30C each day) the skies have been a boring blue. Nice to see but oh so undramatic.
A few days ago there was a bit more drama to see:

and here are some favourite clouds from a few weeks ago:

I love zooming in on textured wood and objects. Here are a couple of shots of peeling paint:

Love the curling vine from our squash plant as well




The theme at Thursday Challenge is Clothes. I had already posted to the theme last week but am redoing it with a different photo.

How about a horse wearing clothes? In the hallway at "The Saratogian" in Saratoga Springs.




The theme at "Theme Thursday" is NIGHT.
For me, the night sky and fireworks go hand in hand. Here are a couple of shots from the fireworks at Lake George:

Today the skies have been a gloomy gray. Yesterday was much the same, with even a bit of rain. So I am sharing a few skies from our trip to lake George in early August.

Had to share a couple from the fireworks over the lake, in Shephard's Park - which take place every Thursday during the summer.

As I wandered in our yard today, I finally caught the morning glories in full bloom. Usually after lunch they're gone, so I was happy to see them.

The theme this week at "Thursday Challenge" is "Seat" - something you can sit on.

As I looked at the flowers and checked for tomatoes, my eyes fell on the willow chair I had made over 15 years ago. I still have the scar from when I hit a knot on a branch and sliced my thumb.From cutting the willow branches, to sawing the pieces, to nailing the chair together, it was a special challenge.

Sky Watch Friday and other Photo Challenges

Photographing skies,flowers, shadows and water is addictive. I have missed joining in a number of photo challenges the past couple of months.

Here are a few skies from the past week or so. So much drama in the sky! Love those big white clouds especially.

These nautical knots are very well organized!

At "Little Things Thursday" the challenge is to share those small things that mean so much. Once again, it is the flowers in our gardens that really do lift me up.

The theme at "Thursday Challenge" is "Signs".
Here are a couple I came across a while ago.

Pretty scary when you see these signs when driving in the mountains!

Saw this on a bench along the Avon River in Stratford Ontario. Great motto to live by
"The journey is the joy."

Time to share skies.. This morning the cloud cover was grey - hopefully we will get some much needed rain today.
Yesterday though, the clouds were lovely and I was even able to capture part of a rainbow (after 10 minutes of rain!)
