October Inspiration 1: Storm Approaching by Sara Harley
|
Clouds fascinate me. One evening this summer, I stood outside with my camera as a storm approached. Thunder in the distance, the wind was blowing the clouds in a fast moving kaleidoscope. I was happy capturing a series of abstracts created by Mother Nature.

Aspen, Birch, Cedar, Dogwood, Elm, Fir, Gingko, Hickory, Indigo,
Juniper, Kapok, Locust, Maple, Nectarine, Oak, Pine, Quince, Redwood, Sequoia,
Tulip, Umbrella, Viburnum, Walnut, Xylosma, Yucca, Zelcova I am soothed when surrounded by trees. True, there are
trade-offs… no horizon lines with sunrises and sunsets, no big sky to watch storms roll in or to gaze at entire constellations. But, I’ll choose the cozy
comfortable call of the forest every time. |
October Inspiration 3: Purrfect Companion by Sara Harley
|
Love them or not, there is no denying that cats have unique personalities. Myrtle Ertle Oickle adopted us seven years ago. Lap time with her is one of my daily joys.

October Inspiration 4: Bippity Boppity Pumpkin by Helen Eaton |
It’s October! You know what that means! Pick pumpkin spice to sprinkle on your tasty pastry crumbs. Put pumpkins on your porch beside your pot of purple mums. Pare a pretty pumpkin for your jack-o-lantern party. Pile pumpkin pie upon your pot luck plate to end a meal that’s
hearty. Paint a picture of a pumpkin patch that shows the orange
crop. Pose a scarecrow for a photo with a pumpkin for his prop.
