A blustery day in Southeast Alaska. Time to settle in with a good book, and listen to the rain as it taps at the window panes.

Day 263

Follow my photography on Facebook.

Little by little, Alaska's old and historic lodges are fading from sight. The old timers that built them have passed on, and the kids left behind have no interest in maintaining them. The big cities beckon - and another lodge is reclaimed by mother nature. Over the years I have seen a number of them disappear. I'm just glad that I got to spend time in their cozy interiors, while enjoying good conversations with the folks that built them so very long ago.

Vivid Sydney is coming up!

Hart to believe a year has gone and time to post one more from last year's display.

We are going in about two weeks time, this time with the D 800, hopefully that means better photos.

Can't wait to see what they got on this year.

More info about it here: www.vividsydney.com/?gclid=Cj0KEQjwvuuqBRDG95yR6tmfg9oBEi...

Till then, I hope you enjoy this one.

As always! Thanks for looking

No matter how cold or blustery it is outside - Doc. Doolittle must feed the birds. This year two dozen wild spruce hens have discovered the birdseed, and now flock around Doc. when he fills the feeders. Disgruntled Magpies try to chase them away, but to no avail, oh well . . . as Doc is fond of saying; "Everything has to eat."

Something very different this time, I always wanted to try this sort of thing.

When I looked through my surfing shots, this one was the perfect series to give it a go.

Hope you like it, constructive criticism is more than welcome.

Thanks for looking

It wouldn't be autumn if I didn't have some Indian corn in my home. Many years ago my hubby and I grew it on our farm. The kid's and I had the best time pulling back the husks and discovering the rich colors that lay beneath each ear. Just another wonderful memory I have tucked away in my heart and mind.

I found this mirror and played around with it until I was really confused.

Thanks to Podsville for the tools needed to make the magic easy. He knows not what he's done.

Last week we were basking in eighty degree temperature's. This week we have been struggling to reach the high fifties during the day, and have been down to forty degrees at night. With that in mind - my rhubarb bed has produced some beautifully colored leaves - alerting us to the fact that it is time to get it ready for its long winters nap. There are stalks to pull, and spruce bows to gather, to tuck it in properly. Doc will squeeze that job in between his log splitting and wood stacking. Hopefully next autumn I will be back to my full strength, and able to give Doc some real help getting ready for winter.
