 A bit interesting date today with the first and second numbers.  😁  Today's image is a beautiful sunrise I saw back in early November but never shared.

 It's Friday, TGIF!  Tis the season so I was doing some artsy pics with my Christmas decorations.  This is an image of one of my Nutcracker soldiers and a rocking horse.  The horse is one of the very first decorations I ever bought for myself so it is about 40 years old now.  The Christmas tree lights provided some lovely bokeh so perfect for today because Friday's Are Bokehlicious!

 Snails are rather interesting creatures, especially their shells and the pattern on them.  I had several opportunities to see them this past year.  This is one that was moving along some leaves a while back.

 It's Wildflower Wednesday here on the Blog!  Today's image is one more flower that was a bit confused as to the season when I took this picture on November 22.  These are Asters.  The type is very hard to tell because these were right next to the sidewalk and have been mowed several times.  Most likely they are Hairy Asters, a very common one in my area.  They usually bloom in September and October but were still happily blooming a month later.

 A couple of weeks ago now I saw my first Bald Eagle of the season and the first one for quite a while.  I didn't have my actual camera with me but got a bit lucky with how close it was with my phone.  They over winter at Milford Lake which is only a couple of miles from my house as the crow flies as they say.  😉  It's a bit further to actually drive.

 Happy Monday and new week!  Today's image is of one type of insect that I did see a lot of this summer.  These are in the butterfly family and are known as Skippers due to their quick darting habits.  This is a Silver Spotted Skipper that was visiting my Echinacea or Cone Flowers in my garden.

 It's Steamy Sunday here on the Blog!  Today's image is another from the night run that was done on the Ortner Railroad this past Labor Day weekend.  I did not work it, I just attended and enjoyed it.  It made for great atmosphere and fun to go for a ride at night with the decorating lights.
