autumn fog and deer

I love the fog and haven't seen it for awhile since summer began. Everywhere, including the water, was quiet and still this morning.

The wildlife seems to be more active now that the weather is cooling. We're seeing all sorts of furry animals on our walks and hikes. I have yet to get a good photo of a deer.

What's season are you in, metaphorically or literally?   Weatherwise, we're entering Autumn. Symbolically, I'm entering my Spring.

I enjoyed the fog yesterday and it looks like you did as well. It's cool to see wildlife venture out. It really is their home, you know, we're invading their space. Enjoy!

Love your pictures! First I thought that it couldn't get better than the boats in the fog - but the deer is perfect, too!

I am in a season of healing, and maybe a bit of nesting - so I feel like it's Autumn physically & emotionally for me.

Oh, I love that first photo! I like your questioning of what season we are in metaphorically. I've always expected myself to be in accordance with the season...
An incredible capture of stillness and quiet with a hint of mystery!

I love that feeling of being closed in by the mist and fog ... like a protective layer shutting out the chaos and the noise.

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport. There were many details to keep track of for each country and airline. After 6 months of stressful planning, 16 hours of two airline flights and layovers, She made it to Japan safely! Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
