Scary?

My black cat awaits trick or treaters.

Fun with birds

more gulls

Seeing them walking gives no indication of their big wing span or grace in the air.

Pelicans at Southport

Guests

Vivian and Tony are here this week from Massachusetts. It is great when people come to play. During the day we saw a lot of the pretty sights around town and had lunch at a restaurant on the waterway. What a nice view from our outdoor table. Tonight we enjoyed downtown things including watching a scene being filmed for a tv show.

Grackles at the beach

I'm so glad to get a new camera, and it is slightly better than the small pocket one I have been using. I think we will have a long relationship! I just kept it set to automatic this evening for the trial run, and here is one of the pix. Grackles were out by the hundreds this evening, eating the seeds that the sea oats provided.

Reflection

As I was driving through the adjacent neighborhood on the way home from the library, I saw a flock of geese poised at the edge of a pond, their feathered bodies perfectly reflected in the water. What a time to be without a camera. When I got home, I put my camera in my pocket and went back, hoping to find them, but by then they had scattered to less than interesting places. However I did find this egret looking for and finding lunch. Whether I get a decent photo or not, I love watching the ways of animals.
