A few days ago Fiona and I were standing in our quiet corner choosing our words for the day and enjoying the beauty of the valley in the early morning light. I noticed the setting moon being rejected in the still water of the rusty fire-pit. I thought I would try to go outside on the decks and take a photo. To my amazement the reflection could only be seen through the window of the quiet corner and no where else. I took a couple of photos of this early morning beauty through the window glass.

Such an ephemeral thing - only for that brief time, in that small body of water and from that one spot.
The soft early morning autumn valley light.
A focus on white on the morning walk.
Sun fringed clouds and blazing sun peaking from behind the cloud bank - along Treehaven Way.
The autumn light is now beginning to dip into the house in the morning at a very low angle creating pools of refracted light and rainbows

The morning had a decided chill about it this morning - we are moving closer to winter.
I thought I'd share the photos below from our local community neighbourhood centre. One of the women (Barb) on our gardening group mended a split wheel barrow creating such a great stitched pattern

Barry - I'm always amazed at how much you pack into a post. The sun-fringed clouds echoed by mountain and tree forms, the magical moon, your always-spectacular flowers ... but the wheelbarrow takes the prize. Thanks as always for letting us see through your eyes.

VA and MC - what a contrast - stitched wheelbarrow and soft moon shot. S and P - you are so right about not being able to see things without reflections at times. C - great save indeed. Go well. B
