I was very tired today.    I went to the Y and then to the Coop for the puzzles. Then I slept for over 2 hours.  I woke up and couldn't shake myself out of a dream.  




I drove up to the rookery.  It was 74 and a little humid and absolutely eventless,  only the wood duck couple were around.  I took a few photos and didn't realize I was shooting in monochrome. Once I'd taken a few photos of the autumn olive trees I noticed the lack of red and looked at what I was doing.   I think color maybe necessary with these.  
These trees are ready for harvest.  They were stunning in the direct sun.  


I still have to chose 3 photos to give to Jan.  Which ones should I chose?


Gregg brought Indian food over and we had a really good catch up.  He told me some people thought I died.  Nope, not yet.  10 more years, at least.  

It feels so good to be back in the water, but it does tire me out.  I have to make sure I do not over due it




The colors are wrong in these photos.  These fields were filled with that light purple aster.  It looks like it is snow covered.
