Shadows On My Wall This Morning

The morning shadows were especially nice on this wall in my kitchen just now. Luckily my camera was nearby and I grabbed it after letting Webster out for a quickie. Another wonderful fall day awaits me and I'm so glad to be able to get an early start this morning. After I get my coffee fix who knows what can happen. Enjoy your day.

Orbit The Orphaned Owl Loves His Stuffed Toy

In his five short weeks of life, Orbit hasn’t met many other owls.

So he isn’t at all worried that his new best friend doesn’t hoot back.

The orphaned chick is perfectly content in the company of the stuffed bird perched next to him and is never far from his side.

Orbit, a common barn owl, was given the toy by Lyndsey Wood, his care giver at Folly Farm, near Narberth in West Wales.

She said: ‘A friend suggested that I find something like a toy owl to stop Orbit from feeling lonely. I thought he might try to eat it, but he just cuddles up to it and goes to sleep.’

All you need is a friend. Somehow I keep finding these wonderful stories about orphaned baby animals and you know I'll keep sharing them with you! I found this one on Tumbler.com

Have A Fun Weekend

HaHa. This made me laugh. Is it a big turtle or a tiny skateboard? Try and have some fun this weekend and I will too. We are still having fabulous fall weather here at the cottage.

Owl with Spanish Moss

Another owl to delight you. This one is sitting on a tree limb draped with Spanish moss. I think I've mentioned before that the parkland adjacent to my cottage is the habitat for screech owls. I hear them at night in the summer when the windows are open but never see them.

Antiques Galore

This photo absolutely stopped me in my tracks and I couldn't wait to share it with you. I wish I could jump inside and spend some time with all of those beautiful things.

Classic Cotswolds

Chipping Campden, Gloucestershire, England. I absolutely love this section of the Cotswolds and I'm quite sure I have pictures of this house packed away taken in the 1970s long before digital. Please click to enlarge this beautiful photo ©Robert Silverwood via Flickr.

Time For A Nap

This sleeping puppy is so funny. He looks las if he's out cold. I couldn't resist stealing it from The Animal Blog.

Believe me, I know how he feels. I worked with the gutter cleaning guys earlier and have been raking leaves ever since. Unfortunately, a nap is not in my future.

Early Morning Frost

A sycamore leaf stuck in a wire fence covered with frost one early morning. This could be my photo only I don't have a fence; found on Pixdaus. Click to enlarge to fully enjoy its beauty.

Baby Hedgehog

Is there anything cuter than a baby hedgehog? I think not. This one seems to be posing for his black and white portrait. No gel was needed for the adorable spiked hairdo. I would imagine the quills on a baby would be on the soft side.

Have a great day. My weekly office meeting is this morning. See you later.

Good Night Moon

Time to turn off the computer and see if there's anything to watch on Sunday night TV. See you in the morning. Sleep tight. It always takes me a few days to get used to the new time. So far, I'm not a fan of this early darkness. It makes me sleepy way too early.

I took this photo from my second floor balcony looking to the back of my property one moonlit night.

Mr. Big Ears ~ Two Versions

Isn't this a great photo of a wild hare? I guess they are burrowing in their warrens until spring. I'm not sure what the second long-eared animal will be doing except making us laugh.

An Unusual Friendship

I would expect to see a dog on a leash . . . not a sheep. These two look perfectly content curled up with one another, don't they?

Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine

The Hamilton House in South Berwick, Maine where visitors can enjoy concerts and storytelling in the garden. The views of the Salmon Falls River are splendid. This handsome Georgian house was built by Col. Jonathan Hamilton shortly after he purchased 30 acres here in 1783.

Photo scanned from one of my favorite books on American Architecture ~ Windows on the Past, Four Centuries of New England Homes.

French Baguette Truck

What a great job this must be. Can you imagine how heavenly this cute little truck must smell inside? I wonder if the driver has a stick of butter handy or if he just eats this freshly baked bread plain? YUM. Have a delicious weekend.

Brave Kitty

I never tire of seeing cats perched dangerously in windows showing absolutely no fear. Love the flowers too.

Delightful Brick Alley

I don't know where this brick alley is but I like it. I really want to peek inside those three arched windows, don't you?
