I remember that about now is the perfect time of year where you are, suzicate. So beautiful. Fall was always my father’s favorite season.

It’s the kind of landscape you can get lost in! Still waiting for our trees to change. Your photo would make a great painting too. Love the quote.

There’s that thought of painting again, petalpusher! It keeps calling to me. Glad you liked the landscape – I’m looking forward to seeing your images when the season finally is upon you.

I saw this photo on your page this morning and admired it briefly. Now I’m irritated at work and happened upon it again looking at the blogs I follow. It’s much prettier this time. Thanks.

I hope it helped to scrape a few of the prickles off today, singlecell.

I’m beginning to hate Gilpin County, Co…… in a very envious way…… 🙂

That’s about what it looks like here, minus the blue skies the past few days. And to think that I have to leave all this colour for palms in eight days. Geeze!

You are making me ache with jealousy.

I can confess my main fear in life – I have to get on and off the ferry, which carries only people (is not large) and if it is low tide there are vertical ladders… and my collarbone is an issue.
In BC there are no little ferries with vertical ladders, just massive humongous ones that carry cars and 18-wheelers and people and have restaurants and great gift shops. Collarbones not an issue.

I know on the Anegada ferry they will help people on and off – the boys are so big that I’ve seen them carrying little ladies who need assistance. Maybe they’ll do that for you!? But I feel confident you’ll be fine – and I’ll send good juju in your direction when you start off.

Yes, our ferry guys are amazing that way – they work in pairs and do people in wheelchairs and everything. They do a great job. We just have to avoid touching that left arm… They could pick me up like a toothpick!
And all good juju welcome!! 🙂
