Taken with my PlayBook.

I was working in the backyard this afternoon and Achilles came outside. As he was laying down surveying his world he looked so regal, dignified, calm, attuned. Every time I tried to pose him, Chili Dog confounded me by doing something I did not ask for – getting up, coming towards me. Then he luxuriantly stretched his head and neck up and out, and that unexpected act turned into a good shot.

I went for a drive along and this tree on Marthaville Road caught my eye. I was almost compelled to stop and photograph it standing against the backdrop of the mid-level clouds and the other trees nearby.

Late Harvest

Late Harvest

Our last few greens made it through this week’s freeze with the help of the cold frame. Wednesday morning’s temperature dipped down to -4 at chest height and certainly lower at ground level.
