Looking Around and Up Harvest Moon Time

LIAM LOOKING AT SUN AND SHADOWS OF FALL

  We are out in the yard. The flowers are the tallest and bloomiest they have been since planted in early June. Always happens when we are heading to less outside time and cooler and shorter days. The grass is rough and coarse and spikey. Entire patches are dead, making a pleasing crunchy sound when walked upon. The biting bugs are around but not as nasty or bloody as they have been. This week the temperature lows are lower and the highs are slipping lower also. Is the sun lower? Yes it is. Shadows long and reaching. The clouds and sun peek in and out. Liam finds autumn sunspots in less used parts of the yard. Gives him a new vantage point for squirrel watching.

THIS IS A NEW SUN SIT SPOT

THE SQUIRRELS CANNOT SEE ME

THE CLOUDS AND SKY COMPETE FOR SPACE

 ROLLOVER IN SUN AND SHADOWS

Liam enjoys this time in the yard. Acorns falling from above, treats from the trees.  A rollover. The dead brown grass evaporates under his weight and he pops up coated with golden dust.
And the sky is showing off this week.
The Harvest Moon is out for a few days. We thank that crazy NYC weather guy who alerted us in his report. Check it out for a startling backdrop photo of the harvest moon at his intro on his September 16 post.http://nycweatherguy.blogspot.com/

JERICHO TURNPIKE FROM MEDIAN BEFORE ENTERING CRABTREE'S

Liam plans to hound howl at the moon. And look up. First though, a sniff, a roll, a sneeze and a stroll. See following You Tube video...less than a minute
