Early Morning Raindrop on Lichen
On an overcast gloomy day ...
Last night's sprinkles hanging from Autumn branches ...
Where can the beauty be in a such a day?
OH.

Watching Me Watching Them ...
As I was going for my walk, I felt something watching me ...
Was it this beautiful little bird that kept flitting around in the trees off to my right?
Maybe one of her friends (if you enlarge this photo you will see there are SEVEN deer in this shot!).
I guess they were watching me find this cute little heart!!!

Sun Breaks Silver on Willamette River
I walked for a moment along the bank of the Willamette River near Newberg (Oregon) yesterday ...
It was cloudy and chilly when I got there, but suddenly the sun broke through the rain clouds, lighting a silver path across the river ...
Just a much needed moment of peace ...
In a life of unrest ...
And I felt renewed.
Tina's PicStory's challenge this week is "gold or silver" - show us the gold and silver of YOUR world!

Fuzzy Pink Flower
I was walking over at the abandoned church when I found these Tiny pink flowers on a tall stalk - surrounded by fuzz.
*I'm not sure what kind of plant it is ...
*Update - of course Mom knew this is a Lamb's Ear, Stachys byzantina!
It used to be part of the beautiful landscaping of the once-popular mega-church ... now being reclaimed by nature.
But I couldn't think of a better PINK flower for Tina's PicStory's "Weekend Flowers"!

Winter Apples
As I looked more closely at one of the apples ... the one with the green still on the bottom ... I couldn't help but wonder ...
Isn't that a heart???

Limb Scrape Heart
A dead limb, pruned from the tree it grew on ...
Left on the ground to nourish the soil it came from ...
Sharing it's heart.

Glad To Be Back!
After I was released from the hospital last Monday, I went for a short walk.
The first walk I've been on for a very long time - one without pain!
Even though I couldn't go far, I found so much had changed since I was last able to be out and about ... summer has morphed into autumn ...
The spiders are growing large, the seed pods are ready to set forth life for next spring ...
I saw a slight movement in the woods ... I was being watched by this young deer - seemingly unafraid of my slow trek up the road ...
It feels so good to be back!!!
And happy to be joining Tina's "Weekend Flowers" once again!!!
