On Kelly's Pond

 I was driving through town yesterday & spotted these birds all lined up on a rock, so I turned around & parked & got out to take a few photos.  the vivid setting on my camera makes this water a little strange looking--see all th estreaks of purple in it?

 Are they seagulls?  We live a few hours from the shoreline, but some do end up here.....passing through on their way somewhere else!  To my Mexico friends--doesn't this look like the black whales on Playa Norte?

So Colorful!

We had Thanksgiving dinner with friends and there was a beautiful bouquet of lilies on the appetizer table.  This color is gorgeous!

Doubles!

Another photo of butterflies at magic Wings in Deerfield, MA.  it's hard enough to get a photo of one because they flit around so much, so capturing 2 is great!

I'm Old & I'll Sleep Anywhere I want to!

 A few mornings ago I started down the stairs to the 1st floor--I was surprised to find Tuck, our 18 yr old cat ,sleeping near the top!

 It's probably a warm spot in the room with the woodstove ( though he curls up by that & puts his head under the stove!)

From the Plimouth Plantation....

Let's travel back in time to 1954 & a visit to Plimouth Plantation, Plymouth, MA.    This is my sister, Judie & me with a Pilgrim standing in front of the enclosure for Plymouth Rock!

Judie doesn't look too happy to be there, does she?

Turkeys

Gobble, Gobble! Taken on the hill behind my house; the turkeys are interesting to watch!

Not Quite a Macro Monday

 This is a photo of a butterfly ( a Blue Morpho ) at The Butterfly Place, Westford, MA.  It was a favorite place for me & my Mom to go near where she lived.  Decided to crop & enhance a little...

Used  the Lomo feature in Picnik--you don't notice quite so much that it's perched on someone's arm!
