Lingering summer flowers, fall
foliage, & snow – we had it all this week!
Sunday,
October 20th
Our flowers were still so lovely on Sunday…
We had High Tea for stewardship Sunday at church. I wore one of my
grandmother’s hats.
They used these glass votive holders with roses in them as
centerpieces. Love them!

Morning moon…
Dr. M always sees plenty of
wildlife on his commute.

Dr. M took some pictures on his
campus. I love sweet gum trees.
Campus squirrel getting ready
for winter – ha!

October 23rd
Today saw our first snow
flurries of the season.
But by the time Dr. M headed
home from school it had all melted.
I finished up some scarves that
I put in the mail later in the week.

If you saw my Wordless Wednesday
post you’ll be glad to note that the flowers seem to be doing fine the next
day.
Dr. M saw more snow on his way
home.

It’s our Ohio…

This juvenile red shouldered hawk was in our back yard this
morning. As Dr. M said on Facebook, the hawk “made a bold effort to have
sparrow for breakfast. Epic fail.” And we have plenty of sparrows to spare –
ha!
It was a fire pit kind of night…
Go to Mamma Fran’s blog here
to see the blogs of all the other Project 365 participants. Have a great week!
Most of our photos are taken with a 12
megapixel Nikon D5000 DSLR, using a 55-200mm zoom lens. This is the camera that
Dr. M takes with him most days. He also takes pictures with our old reliable 7
megapixel Canon Powershot A710. The Bug uses our new Nikon Coolpix S6200 most of the
time. If you’re interested in which camera was used for a particular shot, just
ask!
I just today notice the first signs of foliage change here. Not even close to snowflakes, though. Do I dare hope??? ;)

Well, it's not unheard of, but I'd give it a few months before hoping too much :)
DeleteGreat pictures. Love the idea of roses in glass votives.
ReplyDeleteThey were lovely - and actually smelled like roses!
DeleteThe campus squirrel made me laugh! And I don't care what people say about snow, I always thought the first snow was exciting and beautiful. Just don't ask me what I thought of it in February...
ReplyDeleteExactly :-)
DeleteSnow? Oh no!
ReplyDeletebeautiful country side and the fire pit sounds like a lovely idea.
It is pretty around here. And yes TOO EARLY FOR SNOW. Ugh.
DeleteI dig the squirrel, he, or she, looks so dignified.
ReplyDeleteYes - he posed like that for a while.
DeleteOh, what a dear, sweet, fluffy cow. I want it. SO perfect.
ReplyDeleteI posted that cow just for you!
DeleteI took that picture just for you (and me)!
Deletethe autumnn and frost shots are my favourite this week, but that fire looks warm...
ReplyDeleteIt was pretty warm. Autumn has been kind of low-key this year - I'm glad there are a few trees representing :)
Deletesome fiery orange against that blue sky.
ReplyDeleteSugar maples, I believe, Ellen...very fiery, and very blue skies that day!
DeleteYou have such blue, blue, skies and I'm so glad the flowers survived the snow!
ReplyDeleteAnd what a lovely idea -- high tea for stewardship celebration...well, really, high tea for any occasion!
That squirrel doesn't look belly-ready yet-- he'd better get to work!
When the skies are clear up here, they are REALLY clear! The camera accentuates it a little, but honestly, they sometimes are that blue. That squirrel was busy trying to fatten up :-)
DeleteGreat photography. You two really document your area and your lives beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWhat a colorful collection of pics. I can't believe you've already gotten snow. Wonder what this winter will bring?
ReplyDeleteWow your pictures were especially amazing this week. I loved your grandmother's hat. It looks wonderful on you. I also loved those centerpieces. I love simple decorations.
