A Russian Blue, Horses and an Incredible Autumn

What an amazing autumn! It has been flawlessly beautiful on a daily basis.
The colors are edible and the light is exquisite.....can't get enough...

Tom at rest on the back deck, the direction he is looking toward is the view of my neighbors pasture and horses.
The day I took these shots was an overcast day that cleared up just in time for an hour of late sunlit angles on the landscape. Dark purply clouds to the east
yummmmm

Glamour Shots

Junior at her best. I can't take credit for the photography, Marilyn took these shots (among many) of our most photogenic cat.

What an exquisitely beautiful day. the light, the light, the light! the angles through the light and shade are amazing!

the fall colors are starting to happen.

no painting to post right now, but have sold 3 this week and have a solo exhibition in the works!

GO TRIBE!!

a lesson learned

right now i have no pics to post. for a couple of reasons...
i have a painting in progress, so its not posting ready and all my other pics which are stored in my computer are, sad to say, GONE.

our computer has been sickly for a few weeks. last week it seemed to be in its death throes. the computer guys where bob works thought it sounded like the hard drive. bob packed up the computer sunday night, put it in the truck to take to work on monday so the computer geeks could look at it.

bob goes to work. the computer guy comes in, bob goes to the truck to get the computer and realizes its not there.

we and some of our neighbors were robbed on sunday night. what are the odds? how many times do put our computer in the car at night?
unless the computer shows up at a pawn shop, i can say adios to everything on the computer that I DIDN'T BACK UP ON DISK. which is just about everything.
urghhhhhhh!

on the bright side, the thieves have a worthless computer. they didn't break in the house, it could have been worse, they could have taken more.

c'est la vie!


moral of the story:

back up your disks now!
