RAMBLING AGAIN...

Heidy-Ho, Blogging Buddies!

September has been a slightly difficult month so I will be glad to see it go.  October is always interesting as we begin to see crazy fluctuations in weather and there is some hope for a period of cool lasting longer than 1 day.  :)  We'll see what we get.

With all that said, there are always those crazy photo opportunities I just can't pass up.  It's time to share a few of them with you.

As always, my early morning walks provide some very good colors and fun things like fog.

ARACHNOPHOBES BEWARE!!  DON'T LOOK!!

So... one morning when I left the back yard through the walk gate in the dark, I hit a spider web with my face.  Backing off, I peered with a streetlight in the background and could just see a web with a large, garden-type spider on it.  I ducked beneath it and continued on my walk assuming it would be gone when I returned in about 35 minutes.  I was wrong.  This spider was not deterred by something too large to eat crashing into its web... which did NOT break, by the way!  Sturdy!  So, with plenty of light, I snapped a couple of photos to share with you.  It is really a beauty and it was out there for a few days before moving on to greener bug-catching pastures!

No, it is NOT eating my Suburban!!!  It's all about perspective!

I happened to look up on a walk one morning.  I saw a cloud formation in the distance that seemed vaguely familiar.

Couldn't quite put my finger on it... but I zoomed in for a closer shot.  When I was viewing it later on the computer, I saw what I didn't immediately recognize before.

Anyone else see a Dairy Queen soft-serve cone?!?  Yummmmmmm.

Finally, I had always thought that reincarnation as a pet of my terrific pet-loving friend, Susan S., would be the ultimate return.  Not so fast!!  The newest member of her little four-legged "family", Sashi, was caught in this candid shot... held behind bars... her gorgeous little eyes begging to be set free... but to no avail.  There is clearly a prison environment here that makes me question my initial thought.  Sigh.  An older sibling in the background, Sawyer, has apparently come to terms with incarceration.  Poor little things!

The Jasper Air Show, which has rained out the past two years, is scheduled for this coming weekend.  If things work out, I will try to get some good pictures for you all to enjoy.

The Beauregard Parish Fair is looming near.  The dates are October 6-10.  I haven't made it back there for a few years but am hoping for great weather.  Nothing quite like a small-town fair to get things going.  :)

So, my friends... until next post...
