The rivers around here are still nearly full yet more hard rains and dangerous storms that could produce heavy rainfall is coming over the next day or so.
Yesterday Charlie and I went to the creek to move the Teddy Bear Guardians safely above any flood level. I really got attached to those little muddy toys. There is a new bear added to the mix. When I found him he had been tossed into a basket on the floor of a resale shop marked as .25 cents. He had stains on his fur.
He is now one of the Creek Guardians.
He looks shaggy and amazing sitting on the rock above the creek. He appears to take his job seriously.
Chance did get a rinsing yesterday in the creek. Whew, what a job! He still has a long way to go before I can think of washing him in a regular machine!
So Charlie and I went for our afternoon walk and as always, it leads to the creek. He investigated smells while I walked around and enjoyed some quiet time in the creek itself.
These next two shots were taken on the same flat rock. I just pointed the camera upstream for this one....
...and downstream for this one. [Yes that is a fog that is hanging just above the water. The water is much colder than the air temperature and this fog moves in and out almost imperceptible.]
If you look closely in the right upper corner you can see the blue chair where the guys are sitting safely out of the way of any angry waters.
However, it wasn't until I got home and looked at the photos as I pulled them up, that I noticed all the yellow leaves and oranges that had dropped into the water.
I mean...I did see them, but it didn't strike me until I got home.
And then there is this shot of Charlie investigating and interesting smell. Look at the foliage! It is rapidly turning colors!
Never mind the Charlie butt. He was too busy to sit nicely in front of me and pose.
Fall is coming. I hope so. We could use some cooler temperatures and some drier weather.
And...you know what comes after that!
Oh!
I will have to write about my new office! Very exciting stuff.
Stay tuned.
