Wednesday morning, I sat at breakfast washing down eggs and toast with hot coffee.  I was enjoying the hot food, company of Sylvia and the bright sunshine of a November morning.  It was beautiful!  All of it.

I glanced out the window and liked what I saw.  Heavy rains and winds had stripped most trees of their leaves.  A few remained.

After breakfast, it was time to gather camera, tripod and then head out the door.  Could I capture an image of what my eye had seen?  I thought so.

Can you see my shadow waving “Good morning” to you?  This was the wide view that had caught my eye while I was at the breakfast table.

There were two parts of this scene that were of particular interest.  The first is top center.  The second is on the left.

It was that group of trees in the center whose leaves were still clinging to their branches that first caught my attention.  I like that “Never say die” attitude.  Doesn’t this image say “November?”  It’s almost deer season for firearms.  There are two hunters’ blinds in this photo.  One is nearly obscured by birch branches.

The second scene is neighbor Bob’s cattle grazing.  It’s a very common sight from our house, but it never ceases to fill me with a feeling of peace and of things being right.

I’m smiling and feeling good.  Hope you are too.
