the sky was full of wings. . .

 

 

Laura Ingalls Wilder's observation of Midwest autumn beauty is a perfect frame for these sky shots I took this morning walking a wooded path, looking for deer again [visit yesterday's post]. Of course they had already eaten their fill and were napping somewhere else.

 

It seems the leaves have turned over night in our area or maybe it is that those that did are so vibrant against our clear blue autumn skies.The deer live among the red trees you see in the distance, below.

 

A contrast with the showy reds are the more shaded trees near the lake and their deliciously sherbet colored leaves. You'd tell me if I've  photographed poison ivy, wouldn't you?

See more world-wide skies at Skywatch Friday.

'Blue sky when you gonna learn to rain?'

More Midwest blue: Iowa skies over sunflower fields bordered by corn above and down the road,

an old stone church and cemetery. Watch more clouds go by at Skywatch Friday.

On the road to ABC Wednesday

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

Yogi Berra

May the road rise to meet you. . .the road not taken. . .take the high road. . .all roads lead home. . .why did the skeleton cross the road? (to go to the body shop)
Today's letter for Round 4 of ABC Wednesday is R. Not one to quit overthinking while I'm ahead, I noted that besides flowers, birds and clouds I seem to automatically photograph roads. For some reason they appeal to me, at least with my camera, but some roads I am afraid to follow, sometimes I have to be drug kicking and screaming. Sigh. . .nevertheless I offer some scenic roads from my own chosen travels.
