Un peu de couleur pour égayer cette journée pluvieuse que je vous souhaite néanmoins bonne !

A little bit of color to make this rainy and cold day smile. Neverthless, I wish you a pleasant Thursday !

I've got that right, don't I?

 

A few have mentioned they never tire of fall foliage shots and I reckon we'll continue to test that theory for a while. The winds over the last few days have done their annual duty, yet the oaks endure as they tend to do, the last to give up the ghost...tho some only do so with the arrival of new buds in the spring, somehow hanging on throughout our trying winter.

 

Another very nice day for late October, so off we go to the canoe to enjoy a relatively rare windless day.

Happy new ear!! & Happy new year, too!!

Time flies,

After a hot summer, so the cows weren't out much,

It was too hot and too dry.

Now we have wolves in the area. Which means the ladies have to get in on time.

The weather is getting colder, so the grazing season is almost over.

So next year hope the wolves stay away.

Several sheep, cows and a pony have already been attacked and died of their injuries.

A concern for now and the future

I once asked a professional photographer, What is more important between camera and lens. "Light is the most important" he replied.

I went to Austin earlier in the week and saw this church that I know I've driven past it hundreds of time and never noticed it. And, I saw the benches ..;)

We have a grey, grey weather, the worse month November is soon here. Time to sit indoors, light candles, drink tea, read a good book.

Happy weekend dear friends.

Sesame Knot Rolls

Challah Recipe (Marylyn Pisseri)

 

1 cup warm water

1/2 cup white sugar

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 cup vegetable oil

2 1/2 teaspoons salt

2 eggs, room temperature

4 cups bread flour

2 1/4 teaspoons bread machine yeast

 

1 egg, beaten

1 tablespoon water

2 Tbsp powdered sugar

 

Place warm water, sugar, honey, vegetable oil, salt, 2 eggs, flour and yeast in the pan of the bread machine in the order recommended by the manufacturer. Select Dough cycle; press Start.

After the machine is done, take the dough out, and place it on a very lightly floured board, punch the dough down, and let rest for 5 minutes.

 

For challahs: Divide the dough in half. Then divide into 3 equal pieces, roll into ropes about 12 to 14 inches, and braid into a loaf. Do the same with the remaining other half. Gently put the loaves on a greased cookie sheet, mist with water, cover loosely with plastic wrap, and let rise for 1 to 1 1/2 hours in a warm, draft free place, until double in size.

 

For rolls: Divide dough into 12 rolls. Shape into long pieces and make a knot. Let rise for at least an hour.

 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a small bowl, beat together 1 egg, 1 tablespoon water and 2 Tbsps powdered sugar.

Brush risen loaves with egg mixture. Bake in preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes.

 

This kind of came out looking like a painting but it's not. The back ground is a painting on a wall. When I took this shot I knew I would use it somewhere. I thought about Window's Wednesday..:) But, since there aren't real windows I went with Bench Monday

This is an outside beach bar from the Holiday Inn, Corpus Christi/Padre Island, Texas. I was there early trying to get a sunrise shot but I was a little bit late..:( I can't image it being a lot of fun in this place, as it's the windward side of the Island. I was worried about my gear because I could feel sand and spray getting on me.

Looks like we're in for a wet week here.

 

A shot from La Grange, Texas. So different from the hill country where I live. But, still pretty in its own way.

I signed up with Airbnb and I have my first people coming on Friday. However, I have discovered a down side to Airbnb. They report all your income to the IRS..;( I didn't see that coming. So, I'm still listing room mate wanted in the newspapers..:).

Katie, a very special friend of mine-has a birthday today! She is my first friend that I knew in "Real Life" that later found me on flickr. She is inspiring, a great cook, an awesome photographer and is funny as hell. Thanks for being the bomb, Katie!

HBM!!

I saw this downtown the other day and thought it looked pretty cool

Monday morning I'm volunteering for the Eco Festival in Austin. I do it almost every year. I'm just a tree huger at heart..;)
