What Was That Stuff?
For a short time this morning (not long enough), water drops fell from the sky. I am hearing that dripping was called rain, but it has been so long since it rained that I have forgotten what it looked like. Yes, it rained, but not nearly enough.

After the rain I explored in front of our cabin a bit. Following are a few views of what I enjoyed. (The autumn colors are quickly disappearing, but there are still some reds, oranges, and yellows decorating the landscape. The poison ivy and Virginia creepers have been very brilliant this year.)

I will end today’s post with a couple of Canada goose images. Seldom do I photograph Canada geese, but when I spotted this one hiding in vegetation along the shoreline I began to suspect something was not well with it. Sure enough, when I approached the goose quickly ran to and jumped into the water to escape. Its left wing was hanging slightly. Maybe it will recover, but it is too “healthy” to approach close right now if rehab is being considered.
