Glory Days

This was the sunrise over what will be my studio in the front pasture, on September 30.


We have had overcast weather lately, which means of course that the frost is in abeyance. Today was foggy in the hills in the morning (we are at a high elevation and sometimes live in the clouds), real Hound of the Baskervilles weather. It was misty all day, which means it is a good day for photographing the greens, reds and yellows. The hounds and I went for a good walk through the hayfields and pastures. Here is Chewy setting out.

And Kylie in the foreground, with Chewy off in the distance.

Chewy, the gamekeeper's dog, blending in with the grasses. Fall is their element.



Chewy among the dogwood.




I saw many of these webs in the hay. I'm not sure, but they may be funnel spiders. They were dewy from the fog and so visible with the camera.

Kylie loves a good splosh. Here she is in a little hollow where there is long pond grass. It's one of the places we see owls.
Now you see her.

Now you don't.



These are the reds. Maple, rose hips, hawthorn, dogwood.



And the big girl says good bye until next time.
