Enter Autumn

The Front Porch is dark and quiet. Too dark for picture taking. I'll wait an hour and try again. Spring has officially stepped off stage. It's Autumns turn to step up at 10:21 AM to delight and entertain us. There is something poetic about getting up on this first official Autumn morning, before the alarm went off (I love those days) and stepping into a slipper already occupied by a spider. I don't need to go into detail about the Wiggins Meter, the Spider Dance, the heart palpitations or anything else that accompanies such an event. I'm just glad nothing got broken by my flailing limbs and a flying slipper. The best part about this arachnid encounter is the fact that I wasn't bit. The worst part about this encounter is that the spider is still somewhere in my bedroom. Just lovely. Who knows how long I will be eyeballing everything in my room with squinty-eyed suspicion. And a hail and hearty welcome to you as well, Autumn. Nice entrance. I want coffee. And food. Adrenaline is wearing off... Ok, it's been a while. Steak and eggs for breakfast!! Yummy!! Let's go see what the Front Porch has to offer this morning.

It's pretty out. I would love to show you but Camera is really struggling today. My poor baby. I've been so hard on it. Dropping it, thrusting it outside in the rain, snow and bitter cold, carrying it in my pocket when it's really not a pocket camera, sitting on it, using it with food-sticky fingers, getting mad at it and pressing the shutter button too hard when it won't take a picture... no wonder it doesn't work right anymore. Time to shop for a new camera! A Leaf picture

My eyes need to open up. There are better leaf pictures out there somewhere. M Woods Trees

A pre-color shot. Now, if I remember, I'll take a peak color picture in a couple/few weeks. It'll be nice to see the contrast. Te quiero Travelers. May the colors in your life always be beautiful!!
