Our World - Falling leaves

 The maple tree turned a beautiful yellow and orange,


 and dropped the leaves to the ground,

 and I will be raking a while longer.

 A last blossum peaks through

and the mums catch the suns last rays.

Header Challenge - Unexpected result

 
 
When I saw this leaf on the window, the sun was peaking through the clouds and it shined orange. The sun quickly disappeared and when I looked at the result - OOPS - camera was on manual focus - not the image I expected.

You might get unexpected results buying a cake here.


The first time we saw this scene, we got unexpected results. We were eating a restaurant across the street one night. Marianne had a good view of the face, but the wings were hidden in the shadows. She finally said "why is that man not moving?". Finally we decided it was a painting. And indeed it is one of several "trompe l'oeil" paintings by William Cochran in Frederick. Another one is below.

Our World - Farmer squirrel

This squirrel got tired of a diet of acorns and grabbed an ear of corn from the Farmer's field. It started up the tree, but settle down for a crunchy meal.
