I don’t think this lovely scarecrow is very scary, but she does cut a good hay figure. Fall is in the air — I saw a couple of sandhill cranes fly over this morning, so I went out to the river before sunset and a small flock flew by. The problem is the river is running really high and fast, so the places they normally roost are underwater. The Martinez House got its color coat, and the cottonwoods are turning yellow.

That is the most beautiful scarecrow I have ever or seen or heard of. Your photos are wonderful and perfect for our changing season now. Bird bath had ice this morning for first time this fall. Susan and I were just talking about how good your photos were of Laurie’s parents and Laurie serving as model.
Thanks, Lois!
Scarebeauty. )))
Thanks, Alex. She’s a beauty, but not too scary.
Love the yellow colour on the cranes and the mountain…
Beautiful scarecrow. Don’t see that one often! 😉
Thanks, Erica. We get nice soft, golden light before sunset in the fall. It’s kind of nice to see a cute scarecrow.
That’s really great. Sometimes we have great skies over here as well… In winter time the sky can be great too. Have to go out more and visit the forest soon before all the leaves have fallen… 😉
There is something wonderful in all of those images. I’m glad to know the cranes are here, right on time! I’m also happy to see the Old Martinez House got its color! It looks good now.
Thanks, Susan. But the cranes don’t seem too happy with the high water,
