 Today's image is from a sunrise about a couple of weeks ago that was producing some very vibrant colors and changing quickly as I drove to work.  I took this near the start of my drive and it was already starting to fade.  Amazing how fast it changes.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  Today's image is a bokeh filled one of some Autumn leaves I was able to capture this year.  These are from my Golden Rain tree.  The leaves seemed to fall fairly quickly this year and changed fairly late it seemed, maybe it was just because I have been very busy.  Anyway, sharing this image today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 It's our Thanksgiving day here is the US.  I have had this photo ready to go since April since I thought it fairly appropriate for the day.  I called these guys "The Gang" as they always seemed to be together and strutting their stuff for the ladies.  😁  I haven't seen any Turkeys around for a few weeks now.  I always wonder where they hang out in the winter.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  My flower for today is Stenosiphon. It's in the Evening Primrose family and usually blooms July through September.  I found this one in the second week of September.  In drought, this plant will drop it's leaves and conduct photosynthesis through the stem.  They can grow to 9 feet tall.

 It's a double digit day today!  😁  Early this year, during the winter, I was able to capture various pictures of Cardinals.  They can be difficult as they don't sit still very often.  This is a male that I was able to get and I liked it because of the way it appeared to be looking at me.

 Happy Monday and happy new week!  Starting off the week with a photo of my Gladiola stalk from this summer.  I liked the painterly background that the Surprise Lilies were giving to it.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image goes back to May of this year when I was running trains on my new raised layout.  I can't believe I only did that twice this year, where does the time go.  SIGH  Anyway, this is my Accucraft Shay steaming along with it's train.  Looking forward to running trains again next year.
