I Almost Squashed a Daddy-Long-Leg

At first I did not see it but just some movement from the corner of my eye.  I stopped in time before grabbing the door handle and squashing it. I quickly got my camera. My wife was putting away the dishes while watching TV.  It created a perfect background for the short movie, just like a horror movie! I did not have enough time to take sharper images but they came out better than I expected.

My son-in-law Ryan emailed me this video. Enjoy!

Last Tomatoes 2013

It was warm today, more like summer than October; perfect weather for taking down my tomato plants. This is the last "harvest" of about a dozen green and ripe tomatoes. I could not get myself to completely cut down these last two plants. They have new leaves sprouting. There won't be enough time left in the season for them to mature but at least I can watch them grow. They are still beautiful. Here's a stubborn little shoot.  He's not sure the summer is over just yet!

York's Visit

My daughter Laurissa and her husband Ryan came to visit us from New York. We had a great time. York has been ill but he seemed much better these past few days. He enjoyed a restful nap. Here he's looking for Ryan & Laurissa

Uninvited Guest in Basil Pot

It's so delicate that I just could not pull it out. But when I looked for it a few hours later it was gone.

An Autumn Image I Found on the Web

I found this photo on the internet last year but I don't remember where.   It could be from someone's blog.  I'm just not sure. If it's your photo let me know so I can give you credit. I did put a frame around it using FotoFlexer.  (  http://fotoflexer.com/  ) I love the colors and the reflection of the trees and clouds in the water.
