Joni and the First Blue Ball

Posted by Ellie
A black and white border collie pup is lying on some old beige floor lino. She has a blue ball between her white paws and has her mouth over it, chewing it. She is looking up at the camera sideways, with her lovely brown collie eyes.

It’s a day for a puppy photograph. Thinking about it, though, most days are good days to see a puppy pic. This was Joni when she was about 10 weeks old, with her first blue ball. She was a terrible chewer, as you can see, and was on her way to destroying this, but was able to spare a few seconds to glance up at me.

A friend posted that she wished she could hit rewind on her life and just pause for a few moments. So this is my rewind moment. Joni is now almost 10. Have a lovely day, friends.

Sunday Sun Day

A mown field stretches towards the upper half of the frame, towards a bank of darker trees. There is a line of small tuffted brushes that resemble tiny hay stacks almost. There is a young fir tree in the right side, with a young deciduous tree in front. The sun is shining down into the frame, with rays highlighting areas of the field including some of the small tufted stacks.

Our fields will soon be covered with snow, so this scene can serve to remind me of the lovely light of an early fall day. The morning sun highlighted those tufts of grasses left by the mower so beautifully that they look almost like old-fashioned hay ricks left to dry. Have a lovely day, friends, enjoy the sunshine in your lives whenever you find it.

Molly Waiting for Supper

The image is mostly black and white, except for the yellow eyes of the cat. She has black curly fur, with big ears but very short whiskers we can barely see. There is patterned and hatched wallpaper behind her. She looks a little cross, or maybe just hungry.

Molly wasn’t really as cross as she looks, but I seem to remember she was giving me the look that says “feed me soon or you’ll be in trouble”. I had probably got distracted, so I deserved ‘the look’. Happy Caturday to all, hope yours is a good one and any distractions are good ones.

Maple and Birch Wood

A woodland scene with green low foliage in the foreground, then young trees, some white and black birch, some darker unknown ones over the whole image. The leaves are very red on the birch trees on the left side, with some pink, orange and yellow ones further into the wood..
Maple and Birch Wood

Hello friends. I know what you might be thinking: “It’s November, it’s Nova Scotia and Ellie hasn’t yet made a post showing our lovely autumn leaves.” There’s a good reason for that, though. This year has not been the greatest for showy displays. That being the case, I have found this lovely one from a few years ago. This is a woodland not far from here, but you won’t find it easily. It’s reached by a dirt road that looks as if it’s going nowhere interesting. Then, you find it, a place where eagles congregate and, no doubt, foxes, possibly coyotes and certainly raccoons rear their young in as much safety as their world provides. The undergrowth is thick and dense and, quite suddenly you come across a clearing with these gorgeous birch trees and glimpses of colour deeper in, should you decide to penetrate the forest. I hope this satisfies your craving for fall colours, but, if this isn’t enough…. The landscape gallery featuring this photo is here and there you’ll see lots more photographs of fall colours.

There is a gallery of Autumn Colours and Rainbow or another, Fall Colour 2021 with some really lovely scenes you can visit to give you more fall landscapes.
