Sept 14, 2014 – I am back on the Island !!! — Cool weather – 39 Degrees in the morning – I have been out photographing and “playing” with Perla instead of doing the mowing, driveway maintenance, garden maintenance, barn paint maintenance, — you got the picture. — I will post just one photo now – I have many more of nature (and a special one of Perla in training) to post but I must go get ready to trail ride now. My nature photos, taken yesterday, show woodpeckers, ducks, deer, rocks, — I missed getting a shot of a mom and young eagle, they flew out of range before I could get my camera focused on them — but I recorded their image in my brain — they are beautiful birds — I will post some of my photos of nature later – so that you may enjoy a little of our Island too!!!

My garden is still very much alive – Roses, cucumbers, tomatoes, beans, herbs, onions – various flowers. As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round.
