November's Postcard of the Month

Burning Bush!  And Turkeys on the move.

I see it every November and wonder what it's called.  Ha!  Duh... 

Thrilling to see.*

We've seen a lot of wild turkeys this year.

One day recently, my father and I were watching planes and helicopters take off and land

at the Lebanon airport while eating our lunches, and I noted: Lots of Turkey sightings lately.

And, sure enough, as we left the airport, there, right inside the airport fence, was a flock!**

Never even glued my prototype!

Turkey prints!

Addendum: Saffron

It's our second year of harvesting Saffron.  Amazing color this time of year!

Yes!  That's a bumblebee gorging on the Saffron crocus (crocus sativa) nectar!

October's Postcard of the Month

Pumpkins?  Pods and grids - my favorite forms.

Good October color scheme, but I don't really know where it came from -

maybe some need for structure/organization amidst all the chaos and insanity of current events.  

No real clue re: those brown lines at the bottom,

other than that I am very fond of the 'stamp' I use to make these.*

The rows of dirt of harvested fields and gardens?  Leading us to the fruit of the harvest?

Pumpkins.  :-)

"Why 9?", Mule asked.  "October is the 10th month".

Thus the addition of the note/Third Eye (which is also an 'O') at the top. :-)  Now there are 10.

Oddly - given it's Halloween month - I never quite found the 'magic' for this one.  :-/

Musical notes?  Third eyes?!
