Patches, Lilly Pad, and Whitey are available for adoption, hopefully all together, at The Cat Connection in Brighton, Massachusetts. They're one-year-old sisters, and are all sweet and playful.
This was kind of a sad collection of pumpkins ready for picking at the Cornbelly's Pumpkin Patch in Spanish Fork.

In these here parts, this time of year, skies spend almost all of their time grey or rainy or both. But a brief interlude to the damp gloom this week drew me downtown to try to find some abstracts in the urban reflections.

"Time falls away..."
When the boys get into sniff mode, time certainly seems to fall away.
And they grow deaf.
Funny how that happens.
What little lawn there is out back resides in rather luxurious clumps.
The boys like to stroll outside to graze upon them in the cool of the evening.

Potato Patch Falls
Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore
Michigan
October 2007
Potato Patch Falls is a beautiful, though often unadvertised, seasonal waterfall in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, within Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.
Very deceptive terrain. what looks like solid ground is actually very soft mud. Every year fire and rescue is called out to the mudflats around Anchorage to rescue stuck people. The danger is not the mud. The danger is that the mud holds you until the fast moving tide comes back in and drowns you.
we don't need no stinking patches!

Standing at the top of the shingle bank in front of the power stations, looking for something interesting flying over The Patch, at Dungeness.
Dungeness is a headland on the coast of Kent, England, formed largely of a shingle beach in the form of a cuspate foreland. It shelters a large area of low-lying land, Romney Marsh. Dungeness is also the name of the power station and a few other nearby buildings near the beach, and of an important ecological site at the same location.
Dungeness is one of the largest expanses of shingle in the world. It is of international conservation importance for its geomorphology, plant and invertebrate communities and birdlife. This is recognised and protected mostly through its conservation designations as a National Nature Reserve (NNR), a Special Protection Area (SPA), a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and part of the Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) of Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay.
There is a remarkable variety of wildlife living at Dungeness, with over 600 different types of plant: a third of all those found in Britain. It is one of the best places in Britain to find insects such as moths, bees and beetles, and spiders; many of these are very rare, some found nowhere else in Britain.
The short-haired bumblebee, Bombus subterraneus, was last found in the UK in 1988, but has survived in New Zealand after being shipped there more than 100 years ago. It is to be reintroduced at Dungeness. It is planned that the first bees will be introduced in the spring of 2010.
The flooded gravel pits on Denge Beach, both brackish and fresh water, provide an important refuge for many migratory and coastal bird species. The RSPB has a bird sanctuary there and every year thousands of bird watchers descend on the peninsula to catch a glimpse of a rare bird from the bird observatory.
One of the most remarkable features of the site is an area known as 'the patch' or, by anglers, as 'the boil'. The waste hot water and sewage from the Dungeness nuclear power stations are pumped into the sea through two outfall pipes, enriching the biological productivity of the sea bed and attracting seabirds from miles around.
Beach fishing is popular at Dungeness, with the area being a nationally recognised cod fishing venue in the winter.
The name Dungeness derives from Old Norse nes: "headland", with the first part probably connected with the nearby Denge Marsh. Popular etymology ascribes a French origin to the toponym, giving an interpretation as "dangerous nose".
A Juvenile Northern Flicker and I named this one for his obvious outcropping of white feathers. His two siblings have no such markings...He is sunning and preening in this instance....

The collective who lived here were evicted and all moved away, it's a bit barren now.
This is my first flickr picture and it is work in progress :-) . Since some days I'm stitching together some vintage fabrics to cover a wall in the living room.

Weird double split on this one - haven't seen that before. Unusually there's also rubber still visible. I'm really interested in how rippled it became as it retracted.
