The look of........

fall...... its arrived.. not so slowly but here, nonetheless... the leaves are changing, crinkling on the edges, turning red for some, fall already for others... the tomatoes are ripening and the new crop of fall peas are about 3 inches high...
a couple of days ago i got a treat... the most wonderful one in awhile... at the living room window the dogs started growling and watching carefully, at first i thought it was the neighbour's dog.. i looked out....... WOW is all i can say... a rare glimpse of an Elk... i say rare because there's never one been reported out this way... they are usually deep in the mountains in the centre of the island... not sure why he/she was here, but a more beautiful site i've not seen in awhile... sad to say... BOTH cameras were in my car.... so just a memory .... and hopefully creator will make it so it doesn't end up in someone's freezer...

yesterday we had a forest fire relatively close to here... arson again.. someone has been busy setting fires in the area.. if they only knew the damage and destruction they are creating... not only for the humans, but enviromentally... i hope they are caught soon, the forests are dry and crackling....

today is Sian's birthday... the ripe old age of 9, will take some pictures at her dinner tonight.. a family affair.. she didn't want any of her school friends.. so family it is... hotdogs and pizza and cake on the menu..
