What began as a moody Monday of errands, a doctors appointment, a bit of tidying up in the garden,was lifted by a walk with a friend, enjoying posts from so many talented, generous folks on WordPress followed by a bit of painting.
“Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.”
from Henry James on the importance of experience copied from Gurney Journey:
Three photos by me- inspired by Belinda Grover’s post today of a beautiful floating leaf photograph. My own photographic efforts down at the spring lot are just snap shots:
But I was especially pleased to be able to take these without scaring the very tired wood duck who clearly wanted to stay the night. She was a lovely little creature. Someday I hope they will nest on the pond.

Your “leaf boats” are enchanting and I am enjoying seeing autumn in your neck of the woods. Ours here has been a little lackluster. Hope you have a good week, Holly!

Your “Fairy Boats” watercolor is awesome… and the colors of the Hollister-house painting are far away from getting muddy. I like your leaf photos, too, the 1st one is my favorite.

I would like to do more with the idea of leaves floating amid reflections. I also want to work with the elusive wood ducks.
