Good morning!

 

That is a beautiful sight to wake up to.

Better than one cloudy morning after another.

Love the birds.

Here are some berries for your birds

Don't know if it means we're in for a hard winter this year, at present it's very mild.

suppose looking for berries here is futile....:D

I like the one little yellow flower.

We had a holy bush for about 40 years but the crazy winter we just had killed it.

True -- but it is still a good shot.

My mother's sister used to live in Arizona and had all kinds of cacti in their yard.

These are actually embedded in the walls of the Bottle House in Radiator Springs at Disney's California Adventure park. It just looks better like this and the title makes more sense.

Bottoms Up

Awesome sky Shootr! And love the cactus closeup details, Dileep. Dave - I need to get out to see the California Disney again - a lot has changed in 20 years!

Love the pictures

shootr,

Those last two pics are about as perfect as can be. I want my pics to look as the actual scene did when I was standing there and I think those two do this perfectly. Its like looking out a window at that scene.

Very nice.

I so agree with you.

Very kind of you. I had to make a few adjustments in contrast and lighten up some darker areas, but they now look as it was. We just sat and wandered and took it all in for a good long while. Fall lasts about a week in these parts so to catch it like this-we feel extremely fortunate.
