This is the millpond that stands out back of the Dells Mill in Augusta, Wisconsin. There's a little bit of fall color left; not nearly the amount that they normally have. I was told, two weeks ago was probably when it was peak of the season! What a shame! Well, we will definitely have to come back here again! Hope you enjoy, nonetheless!

This was the first time I had driven down to the beach in Long Beach, Washington state. The town, itself, is a lot of fun...a lot of fun little shops and restaurants...a very nice place to spend an afternoon. Then we drove down to the actual beach at sunset (one of my favorite things to do!) I love how there were several layers of land and sea...pretty cool! Hope you enjoy!

This was taken just a few days ago from our own garden. They are, indeed, newly planted! This was actually the second batch this year: The first batch was just seeds, I believe, and the deer or squirrels swiped 'em all! That's the problem with living out in the country! ha! I must admit, though, I do love seeing the deer! ...and the squirrels too, for that matter! ha! We actually have two varieties of squirrels that come around: both the regular, brown-colored ones and then the black. I had never seen black squirrels before moving to Wisconsin! What a new sight that was to see! My dog loves to chase the squirrels off, and that I don't mind! He would chase the deer too, if I gave him half a chance! ha! I won't let him out when the deer are around. I enjoy seeing them too much!

Well, so far, the coneflowers have survived! ha! Hope you all enjoy!

This was from the road trip I took with my daughter and son-in-law, in order to get them moved from Washington to Kentucky. This was only the second day, but I believe it was somewhere in Idaho or Utah. We were traveling along Interstate 84, to stay the night at Salt Lake City. The hills were so pretty with snow dusting them, I just had to grab a few pics!

Hope you all enjoy!

Who needs to go far, with colors like these right out your doors?! Not my doors--but still, beautiful! This was a little farm I passed, while driving south on highway 12. I just had to pull over to capture these terrific colors! Hope you all enjoy!
