Autumn Movies

As we pedal our way through autumn and hear reports of the first snowfall dusting the trees further north, it’s time to think about an autumn movie day.

Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner

It’s another movie theme Saturday since I immediately thought of the movie title Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner after I watched this Great Blue Heron walk toward the stairs after striking out searching for fish along the shoreline and frogs in the flower bed.

The Week In Seven Photos

The Week In Seven Photos

The first signs of a transition toward spring began to appear this week. The ice fishermen have left their shanties and were fishing out in the open, the winter store displays have been replaced with patio furniture, grills and Jimmy Buffett tiki bars and there were kites flying, some more successful than others.
