planning paddle

I am planning to paddle on this small lake, soon, I hope. Though I may wait until the trees stop falling over and rivers stop flooding.

cloud figure

I took this last week from Marrowstone Island. The clouds were figured and changing fast. The sky over the water is so big. We look for the meaning in the cloud.

Neighbor

I am driving back from singing for the church and see this neighbor on an old van. It is 2:30 pm. No napping in the day today! Quite awake and calm when I send my window down and take some pictures. I only have my phone and not my big camera, but I sing a thank you song anyhow. Best wishes for mice.
