Autumn leaves from 2012, since it's not looking like we'll have many this year. I'm hoping I'm wrong and they'll color up soon, but I'm not holding my breath.

#Nature #Autumn #AutumnLeaves #ATX #AustinTX
Looking upwards at tree branches and a pale blue sky. The sun is highlighting some of the leaves, which are glowing in shades of red & orange. Bright orange and red leaves against a field filled with dry weeds & grassas. Close view of the long, slender, pointy leaves.

I think I'm in good hands with the crew of the Raza (2015 Dark Matter)

Long ago photos of a church in Round Rock, Texas, US during golden hour. Shortly after taking these, their bells sang out the hour and it was wonderful to hear.

View down a long outdoor hallway of stone. It's lit in the golden light of the late day sun shining though the open arches. Another view of the hall, with a black lantern hanging on the wall. A tall, sinuous live oak tree fills the view from one of the arches.

Daaaaang, Prax really WAS 'that guy' after all! 😳😆

Clip is from the 1st episode of Continuum.

Roger Cross, Six from 2015 Dark Matter, is in this, too. Wonder who else might pop up! 🤔

From quite a few years ago, during a spring flower bonanza.

Colorful flowers along an old wire fence. The field on the other side is filled with tiny yellow flowers, and some trees in the distance.

One of these plastic containers; they use just over 2/3rds of a block of foam, if that helps.

First table centerpiece of the season. 3 feet in length and chock full of Autumn colors!

A long flower centerpiece filled with Autumn colored flowers and greenery rests on the stainless steel counter. The opposite side of the centerpiece.

A few things I've found interesting.

Black and white photo of dried leaves that are curling in spirals. It's a bit overexposed, oops. An almost triangular shaped leaf, glowing deep orange-red in the sunlight.

A few leaves I've seen.

#Nature #Autumn #AutumnLeaves #ATX
The remains of a fallen leaf, with only the veins and stem left. A slightly curled leaf on the ground. The outer rim is orange-yellow with spots of brown; the middle section is various shades of green, while the center stem is tinged red.

1st pic: Customer dropped off a vase to give as a b-day gift.

2nd pic: this vase was left on our swap cart. I've been wanting to use it for some time, but it called for delicate colors, which we finally had on hand. My sister says it looks like a Great Gatsby vase.

#FloristLife #Flowers #Florist
Cylindrical vase decorated with a flower pattern sits on a stainless steel counter. It's filled with soft, delicately colored flowers and greenery. A small, curvy, plum color vase rests on the same counter, filled with softly toned flowers of pale pink roses, a darker pink alstromeria, pale blue delphinium, cream statice, and dark plum miniature calla lilies, with accents of dark plum agonis and frilly gunny eucalyptus. The opposite side of the vase.

Some photos from previous years. Autumn colors come late in South Central Texas, I'm seeing the start of them now.

#Autumn #Nature #Photography #ATX #AustinTX #AutumnLeaves #ThrowBackThursday
The top of a lamppost stands in front of a beautiful tree that has small clumps of red leaves left. A dark blue sky fills the background. Looking upwards at trees filled with bright orange and red leaves, along with a live oak tree's richly dark green leaves, all against a blue sky. Mix of brightly colored leaves and green leaves A bee, sipping from a barely opened loquat blossom; the rest are still tightly wrapped in their fuzzy brown wrappers.

Pipsqueak, my Mini Cooper, went for her annual inspection yesterday; she passed, no problem.
While the tech was checking her out, I got to play with the shop dogs. This was the only pic I took, and I'm sorry I didn't get one of the 2 dogs grinning, but I was busy enjoying the moment.
#Dog
Looking down at the top of a dog's h3ad. She's a tan & light brown girl, wearing a wide collar that has an unseen bell on it. Her ears are perked up, and she's watching something off to the left. Her fur is very short & felt bristley soft, an odd combination. And like any good shop dog, petting her left my hands grungy. A very sweet girl.

Paintings by local artists that were hanging in the Austin airport.
#ATX #AustinTX
A large painting is divided into 3 sections, with vibrant colors of reds, yellows, and blues. There's a guitar playing man in a hat, with a mustache, goatee, and dark sunglasses, wearing a suit, and smoking a cigarette. The words, Big Black Cadillac Blues, encircle his head. The other sections are of a 1930s car, and an early version of a Cadillac. Two paintings, one hanging above the other, are brightly lit. The top is what could be the face of a mermaid, with white hair streaming across her smiling face. Ocean waters froth around her face. The other one is a nighttime painting of Congress Ave in Austin, TX, looking at the Capitol building. The street looks like it's rain wet & reflecting street lights in bright colors. There is a couple walking on the sidewalk in silhouette.

I don't know exactly what year this was taken, but it's the wedding photo of my Uncle Don & his wife Ouina. Late 1940s or early 50s, maybe? More info in Alt.
An old sepia photo with age blotches on it of 5 people, the 3 men dressed in their best suits and the 2 women are in a suit dress, and a lovely dark colored dress. From Left to Right: the bride's brother, my grandmother, her brother Donald who is the Groom, his now-wife Ouina, and her other brother. Unfortunately, I don't know the names of her brothers. The men look dapper, dressed in their very best, and are happily smiling; they each have a carnation pinned. Aunt Ouina- a petite woman- has a massive orchid corsage on her shoulder, orchids in her hair, and a beautiful bouquet with many trailing ribbons.

A moving picture, if you will. This is from the Arabian Horse exhibit at the Kentucky Horse Farm in Lexington, Kentucky, US. Be sure to turn the volume on to hear the narrator.

Would a cat photo help, too?

Autumn leaves from 2015.

Still not seeing much here- nothing like that, at least- but there is a tree just outside the window that has a few leaves starting to show some color.

#Nature #Photography #Autumn #AutumnLeaves #ATX #AustinTX
Brightly colored oak leaves. The leaf is orange, while the veins are pale green.
