mnbruce; Great photo of "ducky." It reminded me of the thread in the POTN site. I see that you know about it. May be others would like to see it.

Here is a few I took this morning. Sockeye is having a good year this year and the river is teeming with them.

 

 

 

Seal fishing too...

 

 

 

Jumping fish...

Dave and TheRoff, thanks for the comments!

 

TheRoff,that's a great thread. That is my only post in it,but I have thought about bringing a ducky with me when I travel but never have.

What your screen name over there?

 

Never mind. I just did a search and see you use the same name over there.

I'm a daily shooter. I never leave home without a camera. But I haven't shot anything interesting lately. So all I have to submit is a simple picture of a geranium filled Terracotta pot sitting in my front landscape that I took this morning with my Olympus E-P1 using the Pin Hole filter.

 

Love your photo, would you mind if i painted a likness(or try to) of it. I paint in watercolors,(Try) and i think the subject and placement are great. Helen

Yes ~ I do see a cute little fellow! :) He's adorable and looks like he has plenty of personality. Cool pictures of this guy and the cow with the 2 heart face! I would love to say that I live on a Texas ranch with 100 head of cattle plus...a few horses!

Since we're on cows...here's one from June down at LBJ's ranch. Hope I pasted this correctly.

[pierces]

It's already happening in Toronto...

 

These are just dumb leaves. It's been hotter than hell up here!

Do leaves change when struck by lightning?

Dave, we've had the hottest, driest summer on record. Yes, it was mighty hot and humid. We just came off of a three day heatwave and woke today to chilly winds and cloudy skies. Definately feels like fall.

[Debathome]

Speaking of Toronto, I went out on a hike today since the weather is so much cooler.

We went along the Humber River and to the park.

Here's what I found along the way....

 

 

[Debathome]

Yes Dave the leaves are turning here in Ontario. These were taken last weekend about 2 hours outside of Toronto in the lake district where we have a trailer....

Born and raised in Michigan - now live in the desert in Texas. That's the one thing I miss. Hopefully the leaves will be changing when we go to Minneapolis the 2nd week of October.

[mnbruce]

Thanks Dave and Debathome for the changing color photos. I just love watching the the trees change, but I don't really like what follows.

You will definitely see some colors. You might even be here around peak color. These are from the second week of October.

Gorgeous. I'm looking forward to some cooler temps. Although it's only supposed to get to around 92 here today.

Beautiful! :)

 

Sparky, that should be an ideal time for travel.

I'm just not ready yet for the cooler temps and the big bad "S" word. (snow)
