Symmetry Saturday: Umstead State Park

I'm pleased to say William B. Umstead State Park is about 5 miles from our front door.

We went out there to see the fall colors...

Most of leaves had 'turned' loose not 'turned' colors

foot bridge before the 'natural trail'.

Bridge and its reflection...I absolutely love this photo.  

 This trail was the most colorful...more sun there

Canoes in 'dry dock' til Spring

Same trail from the other side of the lake.

Ironically, on the way home we came in the back of our neighborhood.

We saw this gorgeous tree with the sun peeping thru the leaves of gold

Feline and Nature Friday: Sunrise and Leaves

We thank Comedy Plus for hosting

Dearest Aunty HiC,

I’m sad to see the college football regular season come to an end.

It’s the one time of the year Mom will sit down longer than 10 minutes, and I take full advantage of her lap. 😻

Thank goodness for playoffs and bowl games. 😹

❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew

Oh dear sweet nephew!! Maybe since you are still technically on vacation in the Wheelie House Mom will continue to sit more than roam!!

What absolutely precious photos of you lovingly looking into your mom's eyes. Your white feets remind me of Angel Madi's.

Is she wearing a 'Bama had?  We were sorry to see the Tide had a bad game too.

We (NCSU) fans are glad to see it over. 

YIKES what a horrible season we had.
Lovingly Aunty HiC

All our fall eaves have turned loose

Now the sunrises and sunsets are tickling our Mind's Eye.

Thankfully all of this is natural area so no raking required.

Wings on Wordless Wednesday with Kat

Hosted by Comedy Plus

Did you hear Mom squealing with excitement? We had another hummingbird visitor today.

Always a thrill to see these jeweled, iridescent beauties.

❤️ Kat Your Feline Nephew

Dearest Nephew...oh what a treasure to see such beautiful hummers

in Nevada ...that we don's see here in the Eastern US of A.

Mom knows how very much I love them 

Give her a hug for sending the video

And I thank your Mom a gazillion times for sharing this beauty with us.  WOW!!  With those sunrises and sunsets and hummers I might need to come out there to bunk with you!!

Lovingly Aunty HiC

Mom of Kat sent this breathtaking picture to me December 1.
WOW   Sunrise over Lake Mead, NV.  With views like this I see why
they are staying in this beautiful campground.

Just a close up of the Christmas tree in the collage.

Last year I tried many times to capture the Stars on the ceiling

This year I didn't try but lookie here I got them...

Perfect for Sparkle quote

Starting yesterday, I'll be sharing new headers ~every 7 days.
Most are from the store windows at Crabtree Valley Mall.  A few will be of the
photos of the Christmas Decorations we saw during our  Thanksgiving meal at the Angus Barn


This week is the window at Altar'd State.  I love stain glass windows.
These are not real but they are surely pretty.  Lighting makes a difference.

Sweets on Sunday

Thankfully when we walk in the morning this bakery is not 

OPEN...

 This looks like stain glass

 There were ladies working their magic inside.  I didn't get many photos
