Outer Banks...

Took a short trip to the Outer Banks of North Carolina. My Dad lives in Colington and I drove down to do a bit of yard work for him. And as always, I like to drive along the beach rode and catch a glimpse of the ocean. This time, the waves were so very calm. Don't see them like this very often. So I pulled into a public access area and started snapping. The autumn is an enjoyable time at the beach.....well actually.....the beach is enjoyable most anytime.
Have a great day!

Kitty....

Every farm has to have a "mouse catcher", right? Well, our Kitty catches birds. Well, so it seems. We find many many bird feathers on the barn floor. Have not seen her with a bird in her mouth, but discarding the goats or us as bird catchers, she is the most obvious.
Glad to have her around.

Garden Spider...

Oh look what has joined our Farm. A garden spider. I think that they are a magnificent creature. She (of course it is a female...she keeps such a clean and tidy web :) catches food on a daily basis....Eats....and waits patiently for more. She is not bothered by folks walking by. And she has grown so much in the short two weeks that she has been there. She is a welcome treat to other autumn sights and sounds.
