On a recent business trip to the Ft. Lauderdale/Miami FL area I was fortunate enough to stay at theTurnberry Isle hotel and resort. While walking around a portion of the golf course one morning, I found this lovely couple. I have forgotten the specific name for this duck, but I do find that ruby red head interesting.
Moving riight along, it is fall in the Ozarks and the leaves are in full color right now.  If you would like an Autumn themed header photo for your blog, please feel free to use one of these below.  I took a lunch hour the other day and captured some leaves.  These are all JPEG images that have been cropped to 980 pixels wide, the maximum supported by e-blogger. Take what you need, modify them to suit your blog.  Enjoy.

Autumn Leaves

I was out and about the house this week-end and noticed that the leaves were in full autumn color. I snapped a few photos. Once I got to the computer, I cropped several of the captures and turned one into my blog header. I thought I share a few more with you. If you need a fall theme for your blog, feel free copy one and use it. Let me know if you decide to use one, I'd love to come and visit your blog to see how they look.  They are all cropped to the same size as my header, 980 pixels wide, which is the maximum supported by Blogger.  Enjoy.

High School Homecoming

Last Friday night was the local high school homecoming football game.  We're ranked No. 1 in the state and are undefeated.  The game wasn't much of a contest.  Saturday evening was the homecoming dance.  The oldest grand daughter is fifteen and a sophomore, so she was invited to the dance.  Here are a couple of photos.  Lord I feel old.

Yes, she's fifteen!

She met all of her girlfriends at a local park for a photo shoot prior to dinner and the dance.  It's a local tradition.  The park is full of parents taking photos of their kids.  This will be repeated at prom in the spring.

Yes, they met the boys there too.  You notice that she's in the middle.  When there's a party, she's going to be in the middle of it have more fun than anyone.

Yuk!  She had a date...and it wasn't her Papa.  I'm hurt.

Okay, that's enough.

Did she have a good time?  What do you think?

Blue Clear Sky

After a long hot summer, the crisp, cool, clear air of autumn is most welcome here in the Ozarks.  It was a day that I actually didn't mind that fact that there was not a cloud in the sky.  This week-end promises to be more of the same. 

For the inspirational song this week, I am going to return to one of my favorite contemporary Christian artists, Jeremy Camp.  The song reminds me of something that I fail to do on a regular basis.  When I get up in the morning, I often fail to begin my day by spending time with my Savior.  I get up, shower, dress, have a little breakfast and head to work.  I fail to invite the creator of the universe to come along and guide me through my day.  Many people rely on various things to guide them through life.  Many people spend time analyzing the stock market and social trends to help them make the correct decisions regarding their daily lives. Some rely on horoscopes, others seek the wisdom to "life coaches".  Give all of the self-help books, Oprah's, Dr. Ruth's , and other experts telling us what we should be doing to experience the "good life", it is little wonder that many people are confused and frustrated.  I just need to remember, "In the morning, when I rise, Give Me Jesus."  The rest of my day will go well for me.  Have a blessed week-end.

 I just wanted to see what this looked like in Sepia.  A blogging friend does a regular post called Sepia Scenes and I really like the effect.
