I just love fall. The colors are so amazing. I also get to play with my camera alot again, because it is so easy to find wonderful things to photograph.

"Living life in shades of gray."

So just because it's Tuesday, I thought I would play with my camera.
Here are a few pictures of my favorite peach colored day lilies.
Wait a minute, do I see a nose in the corner of that picture?
I think I do. Is it one of my favorite, flower sniffing, dirty nosed, black colored corgis??? Yup, that's Jenna.
And look, there's my other favorite black corgi, Rush!
What a pretty boy. :o)

This week's theme was Twisted. I had the pleasure of watching robins build a nest in a maple tree next to my back deck. I was fascinated at the complexity of the nest and how all the materials were "twisted" together.
Of course, I had a great time being so close. I removed one small tree branch and was easily able to watch them develop. I took lots of pictures every chance I could get.
I was surprised at how short the time period was for the babies to be in the nest. The whole process, from when they hatched to when they flew away, was about 10 days. Both the male and female fed the babies.
I was sad to see them fly away. I had bonded with my baby robins. I tried to care of them and make sure the hawks or cats did not get them. Now my babies never call, they never write . . . . 
While blog browsing, I came across these wonderful photos. I love snowdrops. They always remind that spring is just around the corner. My mother used to grow bunches of them in Ohio when I was a kid. I thought they were wild flowers because she had them planted everywhere. I remember that one year I picked a huge bouquet of them and proudly presented them to her. That was when she clued me in on the fact that they were not meant to be picked.
