That's me to the left....back when I had was doing water aerobics...

Your lavender Plectranthus is beautiful susanwv! Those 'Mona's seem to bloom forever. Yours is obviously a very happy plant. Great group of photos again today--cool bridge setting, autumn color [sadly lacking here :( ], and fun shots. This neighborhood cat was not very skilled at tree climbing in the first place, and on this day, was getting doubly insulted by an attacking mockingbird. Poor cat; what a rough morning he was having!

While photographing a cemetery yesterday, I came upon this unexpected sight. It was sad . . . the deer had a badly broken leg and appeared to have internal damage, undoubtedly hit by a car. But somehow she made it into the cemetery, where she died. If I hadn't found the deer, which hadn't been dead long, I don't know when it would have been found. The cemetery is old, and I don't imagine it attracts many visitors. A stone wall surrounds it, so the deer wasn't visible from the road.

After my morning bike ride, I stopped at home and got my panniers, and went to the grocery store. Here is my bike all loaded up: and here is what I bought, all but the tomatoes, I had them in my camelbak and forgot to put them out for the picture. Yep, one can do grocery shopping on ones bike. :) Moni
