Drive Around the Lake

 We went for a drive through Coeur d'Alene and around the lake today.  

I love this statue of Ganesha, but it's sure been the subject of a bunch of discussion in the local paper.  I looked it up and found this: "Ganesha is widely revered as the Remover of Obstacles and more generally as Lord of Beginnings.  He is also the patron of arts and sciences, and the deva of intellect and wisdom. "  Doesn't sound like anything to get your panties in a bunch over.

 We saw this sailboat on the foggy lake.  Wish we were on it.

And this ~ the last of the leaves.

For these trees anyway.

Sorry. It was one of those "Oh my gosh, I haven't taken a photo yet today!" moments.

One Thousand

 One Thousand.

One Thousand Posts.  One Thousand Days.  One Thousand Photos.

Not all great, some not even good.  

But every once in a while, something magical happens.

 I've learned so much.  

About my camera, myself, the world.

Thanks for coming along on the journey.  

I hope you'll stick around for one thousand more.

Yellow may not be as sexy of a color as red, but it's one of my favorites this time of year.

I had an absolutely perfect day.

We ran 8 miles along Lake Coeur d'Alene this morning, then came home & started taco soup cooking in the crock pot. Spent the afternoon at Hayden Lake with the dogs, and then had a family dinner for Nicole's birthday.

It couldn't have been nicer.

I'm so bummed. It's already so dark when I get home from work, especially if I run any errands, that I have to use flash for any photos. I hate flash. Although, it did make the raindrops pop in this photo.

It's funny that I go thru so much of my life like this...

I have my glasses on in this photo because I can no longer take a decent picture with my contacts in.
