Eats like a bird!

Eats like a bird typically means that "you're eating very little".... but wow, these birds were having a feast this morning when I took these shots. While I was visiting a good friends house for a girls weekend....many of the girls that were there got to witness a CSD individual in action! I'm sure they think I am a nut case. I ruined a sweatshirt when leaning over the kitchen countertop to take the photos.....I did not realize there was a bowl of tomato sauce with no lid on! Shirt shmirt..... oh well! Ya win some, you loose some. If anyone can help me out with the types of birds in the pictures, that would be awesome!

Baa Baa White Sheep

There was a petting zoo at the corn maze that we visited, so I decided to walk over and check it out. I spotted a friendly and inquisitive soul. This one sheep greeted me instantly. Of course he couldn't talk but I think he was trying to say, "hey, I miss my other job where I was participating in sheep counting.... please take me home with you... I'll pay you big bucks to get me out of this pen... read these eyes, I'm bored!"

Early Morning Dew Lights

It was kind of foggy out this morning. I pulled back the curtains to see if the bus was coming for the kids and wham, what a sight! The tree out front was twinkling with morning dew water droplets! It was like Christmas lights twinkling but instead with water droplets! My jaw dropped and I had a feverish CSD moment. Bus, camera, bus camera....bus is coming, where is the camera.....geez! Here is the shots...

You can observe a lot just by watching.

Beautiful Butterfly

On my bike ride through the State Park, I was amazed to see a Monarch butterfly in October! He must of been a late bloomer or was lost?

If nothing ever changed there'd be no butterflies.

Door County, Wisconsin

We took a lovely weekend trip to Door County. Here are some highlights (for me treasures), of the fun bike ride through the Peninsula State Park trails. Yes, my butt hurts but it sure was worth it....

Glorious are the woods in their latest gold and crimson.
