 Once again, we've had a little of everything over the past week, from blue, blue skies, to gray, from sunshine to stormy, stormy days and nights with downpours!  Some trees still have their leaves although no longer green and some are stark naked -- already!!

Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There's nothing to
do but to stand there and take it.  Lyndon Johnson

Bureaucracy gives birth to itself and then expects maternity benefits.
Dale Dauten

Government is a trust, and the officers of the government are trustees. And both the trust and the trustees are created for the benefit of the people.
Henry Clay

If 'pro' is the opposite of 'con' what is the opposite of 'progress'?
Paul Harvey

Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach
military age. Then you're just what they're looking for.

  2. there is something about a bare tree that I find so beautiful
    they show their character and shape and look like ancient hands
    and the water is so blue
    wonderful contrast

    Hope sends hugs

  4. Beautiful trees, Sylvia, I love the way the light turns the one into gold.
    As for the quote you chose to go with it, I am surprised that Paul Harvey ever said anything I could agree with, but then, I'm sure he was thinking of a Democrat led Congress.

  5. Some fantastic shots here as usual, Sylvia. Love the dozens of sails on the horizon and the super crisp orange and red foliage of the autumn leaves. Lyndon Johnson's descriptive take on the presidency made me smile. I think most people have similar moments during turbulent times in life. :)

  16. Lovely shots, Sylvia. The red and yellow leaves are so vivid, very different from anything we see. It's funny that you're saying some trees have "already" lost their leaves, ours are all long gone. I hope you and Sam have a great week!

  17. Wow! Look at the colours of the leaves! It is like molten gold sprinkled on the trees.
