Baby, It's Cold Outside

We have had an unusually cold and wet autumn but the leaves have been spectacular.



Instead of just turning brown and falling onto the ground in slimy piles, they seem to be staying put and changing into pretty colors like they usually do everywhere but here.



While taking the tree photos from the deck, I spied grumpy Thelma, one of the outdoor kitties, hiding in the bushes. Taking advantage of my new camera's zoom, I can finally get a photo of the ghost kitty, that until now has only been a white spot in the woods. It's too bad such a pretty kitty is so darn mean. I just would love to pick her up and give her a good cuddle.
