fallen star


I found this star lounging on a bench against the garage of a new house. . .maybe it was to be hung on the clapboards or the owner really liked it occupying the bench. Either way, it is delicious country red and my contribution to all things red at Mary's meme Ruby Tuesday.

the day after

The day-after-Thanksgiving was full of stars in the frosty morning air and then the sky exploded in these welcome hues. This is the sun rising over Sucker Lake near our apartment. . .a sure sign of a good beginning to the holiday season. See more beautiful skies here. Then shout Hooray!

all good wishes


As I stop to count my blessings this week while enjoying the bounty of the harvest, I remember you reading my blog: I am grateful to know you. Happy Thanksgiving!

We are each other's harvest.

Seasons greetings!

When I drove to the fitness center this morning and pulled into the parking lot, I saw this magical seasonal scene. Every tree had string after string of white lights. A veritable wonderland. I sighed realizing, 'tis the season. I share all this alliteration because today's letter for ABC Wednesday is S.

cuteness ahead

I took this photo last year when my friend Caroline ran in the rainy Twin Cities Marathon. Then when we had the great hard drive crash of 11/09 it magically re-appeared.** I don't get it. But I do know its better late than never. . .to post on Mary's meme, Ruby Tuesday. See more red here.

little black beauty

On one of our last evening motorcycle rides we were on our way to Stillwater along the St. Croix River when I saw this little beauty in a pen next to this old weathered building. The rest of the small farm with barns and gardens was across the street. The little horse was shy around the camera but I was able to get this shot when I caught her watching Dave on the bike behind me.
