October 14, 2024 – One of my fall memories, & Dave photographed robins gathering & splashing in the fall – as I have seen them do in Florida in the spring.

DAVE WROTE:  Hi Jim, A cold rainy day here in the Rome area. Temperature only 40 degrees F. A small flock of Robins moved thru. Bathing and fighting in a puddle.

I WROTE:  The world on top the northern Allegheny Mountains, where I was born and raised, are the most beautiful memories in my mind. I painted one such memory of the country lane thru the Brubaker farm that is in my mind.
