Patricia that is neat. We had a hot air balloon land across the street at the park years ago.

Went out today looking for foliage, we were a bit late. Very little left, the leaves are falling. So, we went to a local spot/farm that boards horses. The horses are often in a field. They were at one end, and apparently one of the owners/workers called out to one of the horses from the other end. The horse galloped across the field and I was ready (almost). I think my shutter speed could have been just a bit faster. It was cool to watch this on a lovely fall day What a beautiful animal!

 

My wife could not resist a new Christmas decoration for the home today, it is actually really well built - all tin, with lights. Very cool.

 

Just a few downloaded from the cam to iPad…

took a steam engine train from reading t9 Jim Thorpe. This was the engine getting ready to board for the ride home.

 

Went to Point Arena where the Trans Pacific Cable goes "feet wet".

 

I was going to post in the pets thread, but these aren't mine.

Yesterday at Jim Thorpe, there was a variety of dogs. This border collie puppy was there. Owner said she never sits for a picture. The buck was in my yard when we returned today. I got some pics, then he went to the woods, then came out and I got more, then I went inside. Just now, I look and he's sitting under a tree. No more than 15 feet from the house. Not nearly as dramatic as Patty's Elk herd, but, there's no elk around here.

 

That's some lens there Cosmo.

 

It is something and it still is in operation.

Pt Arena CA.

 

Do not think TX/CO Jim will object to my posting these. I was amazed he came into the back yard of the Durango house because it is pretty confined. Maybe not so wild?

 

^10-26-2024. My son and grandson. Julian was three and I was told by him that he wanted a cake with a green tractor and trailer and dirt.




^10-26-2024. It came out okay. I bought some new tips for grass. I needed a grass tip last year, too.

 

SWMBO said " Oh isn't that adorable!!!"
That's high praise.
Among her other artsy endeavors, she had taken a cake decorating series. You know roses on a nail and so forth.
