Cat Got Your Tongue?

Our cat, Libby looks like she doesn't have a head in this picture :)


Cleaning herself on top of our spa.


I swear, that cat has a tongue that's five feet long :)

time of year and this year is no exception.

Moon Rising on November 21

I took this picture from our deck as the moon
rose last night. It was so pretty with the color
reflecting off the clouds.

Young Hawk

I was in the backyard taking pictures with my long lens on
November 11th when I spied this young hawk sitting in a
tree in our side yard. I was going to try and get closer, but he
spotted me :( By the time I got close to him he flew away.
Hopefully I'll have better luck next time.

Mr. Squirrel

“And now, when comes the calm mild day, as still such days
will come, To call the squirrel and the bee from out their winter
home; When the sound of dropping nuts is heard, though all
the trees are still, And twinkle in the smoky light the waters of
the rill, The south wind searches for the flowers whose fragrance
late he bore, And sighs to find them in the wood and by the
stream no more.” ~William Cullen Bryant

Mockingbird

The Tennessee state bird. One of my favorite songsters!

Rainy Days & Tuesdays

I took these pictures Tuesday morning of raindrops on our
Yoshino cherry tree. It was a cold, wet, dreary, miserable
day. I love that little hint of red in the background from our
Bradford Pear trees :)

Fall Color

This Bradford Pear tree in our neighbor's yard
looks like it's on fire. Gorgeous! Bradford Pears
are the last to start changing in the fall and the
first to bloom in spring.

Fall in Smith County

I took this shot with my long lens from my backyard. The fall
foliage is still pretty here in Smith County!

Afternoon Moon

Tulip Poplar Gone to Seed

Reminds me of a dried flower :)

November Rose

We've had several frosts and a couple of freezes
so far this fall, but my rose bush keeps blooming!
Talk about hearty :)
