I love all these shots, especially those you took on Orcas Island - such a nice mood. But all are wonderful captures. (And what a nice lunch you serve! Yum!)

Great interpretations as always. Love the 2 sky photos but my favourite is the deer going to the post office! x

Love the sky and moon shots.. And the foggy scenes are pretty. I love the kingfisher too. Great post. Have a happy weekend!

You've taken some beautiful photos for the October set ~ O for over was a brilliant idea, and I can just about hear that gull on the post telling the one overhead one to buzz off! Catching the deer near the post box was also a clever shot. Orcas Island in the mist is so west coast! Terrific moon shot! Wow... Lunch looks very welcoming and delicious. Your grandchildren seem to be having a wonderful childhood :)

Love the thrift store dishes and silverware. Which stores do you like best in town? You mentioned you lived by the lake, which one? - Margy

Some really fun pictures from the O to the crocs!
We have a common kingfisher here like a flying jewel.

I scrolled down, thinking about each one, "Now THAT"S my favorite!"
I envy Jahn - what a wonderland of a place to grow up in!
The fog over the water is eerily beautiful!

I think I love the dear by the mailbox the best. But I do have to say I love those snowflake plates too.
