Make A Wish Time 

My favorite part of Thanksgiving comes after the feasting! Today after the meal was done, I got the wishbone.
Picture
Ms. Donkey and I made wishes and had some fun pulling. Guess what? We couldn't break it. I think that means, both our wishes will come true!

Colorful Leaves

Autumn in the Wine Country

In October, Beth and the Fam were in Napa. I got to spend some time climbing in the vines. The leaves were changing!
Picture
But these vines were not growing out in the vineyards. 
Picture
These vines were growing up a wall. See me?
Picture
Picture
Inglenook Winery has more than wine. It has the most fabulous old building. I just sat on the red leaves and imagined living there.

Now that it's November and I'm back in Texas, I'm just sitting around imagining those fall colors. I miss them!

Glass Beach in Northern California

Treasures at the Beach

​I've posed on beaches with all kinds of sand and coral and seaweed and shells. 
Picture
This is the first time I've posed on a beach with pieces of sea glass.
Picture
Sea glass is a really nice name for stuff that started out as trash. This beach area near Fort Bragg, was a dump for about 60 years. The yucky stuff is gone and the smooth little treasures remain.
Picture
Beth hunted for glass pieces and then she let me pick out my favorite. The round green piece was tiny and smooth, like a little jewel.

​I love it.

Adventures  on the West Coast

Near Fort Bragg, California

Beth doesn't always pull me out of the camera bag when we visit a beach. I've been in too many beach photos already.
Picture
But the beach at Fort Bragg had funny succulent grass stuff. I don't know what you call it, but it was sturdy and I climbed all over it.
Picture
Picture
I had a wonderful time and then Beth gasped. She looked behind me and I figured a seagull was about to swoop down and grab me. That almost happened a few years ago.
Picture
But it wasn't a flying friend, it was a furry one. He was just enjoying the moist grassy stuff like me.
Picture
I begged Beth to wait it out. Maybe the odd little squirrel would come closer and we could pose together in a photo. I've posed with a few animals in my time.
Picture
But Beth snatched me up and tucked me away. "That squirrel is hungry!" She insisted. "I'm not taking any chances."

​Oh well.

Hiking in Oregon

Moss and Ferns

Last month, Beth took me on a hike to Multnomah Falls.

Picture
It was cool and moist and Beth posed me on some moss covered rocks, next to some cool plants.

On a Stump
​
​
I wanted to pose with the waterfall, but Beth put me on a stump.
Picture
The grain and bark was so smooth. It felt like the fake wood of a log flume ride, at an amusement park.

​Columbia River

But I actually really liked my spot on the stump. The Columbia River was rolling on, right behind me!
Picture
I like Oregon.

Happy Pumpkin Day!

Northern California

Earlier in  October I was in California. We went to a huge pumpkin patch on "Apple Hill" with Beth's family. 
Picture
But there were too many kids and puppies posing with the pumpkins. I waited until the next day, when we found a quieter setting with pumpkins.
Picture
There were no puppies or kids at this winery in Napa. If there had been, they would have had a tricky time posing with the pumpkins in the pond. 

Inglenook Winery

​
What a peaceful and crazy scene! Pumpkins, sitting on cinderblocks, with a view of the vineyards beyond!
Picture
I was happy to be the only one who was able to climb on a pumpkin! Luckily Beth's arm was long enough to reach! 

Yay for pumpkins!

A Dead Tree & Lake Michigan

Near Saugatuck, Michigan

Here I am on a summer day in Michigan.
Picture
I was snuggled up against some sun-warmed bark.
Picture
The tree was dead, but the view was lovely.
Picture
Except Beth posed me, facing away from Lake Michigan! But I smiled for the camera. Can you see me?

Garden Art in Michigan

Douglas, Michigan
​
Picture
I love flowers, but I get tired of Beth posing me in them. I'm glad she found me a special place to sit, where I could look down on the garden flowers.
Picture
This was a very strange sculpture. The artist's palette was my favorite part. I sat where the artist's thumb would be. It was nice.

Hydrangeas in Michigan

​Frankenmuth, MI

I love Hydrangeas! I never see them in Texas.
Picture
On a hot summer day, the cool flower petals made a very refreshing bed!
Picture
Sitting in the flowers, beneath that awesome sign, I started getting hungry. There were lots of people heading into Zehnders for fried chicken!
Picture
No chicken for me. Beth stuffed me into her camera bag, when a family approached. They asked if she would take their photo and I was forgotten. 

But the family didn't get to sit in the Hydrangeas. Lucky me.

Cows in Michigan

Country Dairy
​

Picture
On our road trip in July, Don and Beth stopped at the Country Dairy.  Beth drank some chocolate milk in the store and then we went out to look for cows.
Picture
At first, all we saw was green grass and white fences. Then the barn doors opened and black and white Holsteins began wandering down the hill!
Picture
I've posed on fences before, but never on a cow. I asked Beth and she said, "No. Those Holsteins are busy grazing."

A Different Cow
​

Picture
Beth took me took me to the front of the property, where she said I could do a photo shoot with a cow.

What a dumb idea.

First of all the Holstein was just a statue. She didn't even have fur.

Then Beth couldn't reach high enough to let me pose on her back. She found a rusty little ring for me to hold. 

Me and My Holstein
​

Picture
Okay, maybe it was a little fun.

I could see cars pulling into the parking lot. Little kids were looking out their windows at me and smiling.

I kicked my legs and wondered if they could see me.

I guess my cow adventure was a good start.

Maybe next time I will ride a real cow!

    Little Bear

    My mom gave me this tiny bear over 25 years ago... because  I like small things. 

    A few years ago, I used
    him in an assignment for a photo club and I got hooked.  This little guy is a great excuse to play.  He fits in my camera bag, so he's always at the ready for a photo shoot.  He's been to a lot of places and he's had a few close calls, with fire, rivers, champagne, wild animals... the scariest of all was when he was lost in New York and returned to me weeks later.  

    I started the blog for Little Bear in 2012, but he got tired of my blogging style, very quickly. He has been writing his own blog for years.
