and....
Sunshine is home!
We got her home just before the rains started.
Oh and after greetings with her sister, Sunshine settled in as the boss of the tiny herd. I guess the others have been missing her leadership.
They follow her where ever she goes.
Since it was pouring outside, I thought I'd try something different. I collected some leaves aa few pumpkins and set them on an old mirror I had.
I thought I'd try a reflection-Fall Decoration shot-with reflections.
Not all of the shots turned out, but I did get two that I kept. This was pretty fun to do and I think I could do better but just need to figure that out.
I thought I'd try a Garden Gargoyle with a pumpkin and a red leaf. So I tried two versions.
I made my own 'black box' to try this out also. A light underneath the characters and carboard to keep out the light. Some fallen flower petals from a flower...and...

The rain let up and it was a light mist by noon. So I packed up a backpack. I'd been stuck inside for too many days.
The dogs were not letting me out the door without them, they'd been stuck inside too. So off we went in a drizzle for an adventure.
And we had a good one.
Just as we got to this bluff the rain started coming down hard so I slipped on the poncho which covered my backpack and me all the way to my knees.
We waited out the heavy rain and then ventured out on the bluff.
The view
Here is a shot of the mist coming up out of the woods after the rain. This happens often in our steep valleys and hillsides because of the temperature difference inside the woods vs the air above.
My pals.
We got wet but surprisingly enough we didn't get muddy. We got to see the fall colors in their best light. In my opinion the best light is early morning, late afternoon, or an overcast day. But that is just me.
We got home and dried off. The drizzle kept on off an on. We ended up with about another inch of rain overall.
This is the new header which replaces the summer view from the bluff.
Today, for the first time in what feels like forever, we have a clear and sunny sky and temps barely in the 40's.
