Grace and sunshine and dewdrops

I went to the park early Sunday morning to play with my Nikon =) Lately, I have been fascinated with dewdrops-their tiny spheres of sun sparkles ....I'm in awe of them.
It makes my heart so happy to watch the play of light reflecting of the water.
Another small blessing I'm thankful for ...

Early Morning

A beautiful morning for going to the park and taking photos. The air is cool, crisp and clean. The leaves are tinged with cinnamon and gold. It's so lovely outside in the early fall morning. After more than an hour of photographing birds, leaves and dewdrops, I finally headed for home. I made a special treat to celebrate this day--mint hot chocolate and a freshly baked croissant. =)

Hints of Autumn

I love autumn. I may be the only person in the world who likes autumn more than summer =) The cinnamon colored leaves and fresh cool air--it's an invigorating time of year. I may be forced to buy a sweater at the mall this weekend ;)
The kitty brats are another early "warning" system that the seasons are changing. I wake up in the middle of the night to discover that Winston kitty is using my foot as a pillow. He is not much of a cuddle cat--and I know he is just using us for body heat.

Oscar

Oscar kitty is 14 years old. I love this orange boy more than I love chocolate. He is a cuddle bug who likes nothing more than to be near me. He purrs me to sleep. Oscar also enjoys driving me crazy by meowing incessantly by the bathroom water faucet until I turn it on.
He is addicted to catnip and will shamelessly loll on the floor next to the toy. He is a bit shy around other people but once he feels safe with you he is a total sweetie.
