6 Words, Willy-Nilly and a Cat

Time for some Friday Fun once again.  Let's get started with Six Word Friday hosted by Adrienne (My Memory Art). 

 This weeks word,  Leave(s) -  Showcasing a few shots of the Flame Maple that is just around the corner of the block.  These are all taken on the same tree.

                                   

                 Joining in now for Willy-Nilly Friday 5 hosted by Tanya (Around Roanoke).


1.  We went to the local Corn Maze this past Sunday night.  I didn't take the camera along since we always go when it's dark and pictures don't turn out.  So here's a photo of the Maze from the Newspaper.

One Giant Spiderweb that made for a super hard maze.  We ended up having to have someone help us find our way out this year.  Hubby's leg/back were hurting so we opted to get help out.

2.  Speaking of Spiderwebs....I'm always trying to get a cool looking shot of a web like I've seen others do.  This seems to be the best I can find around here though and they always look like the spider has pooped (sorry) in the center of the web.


3.  Coleen got a "glow stick" at the corn maze.  She was twirling it around the other night and I decided to try and take her picture while she was twirling it.  The results were pretty cool.  Granted my camera doesn't take great night shots but I still think this is really fun.


4.  I like squirrels, they really can be quite entertaining.  Saw this little guy at the park and had to snap his photo.  The expression on it's face is so funny.


5.  Halloween is one of my favorite holidays.  I love seeing the decorations people put out.  Coleen and I spotted this one while out walking the other night.  Looks like this witch had a rough day.


You know I just can't pass Friday up without my (Cat) photo so here it is.
Joining Steve (The Burnt Food Dude) for Feline Friday.

My other cat, Piglet who lives with my mom.  I don't often get photos of him because he's always trying to get me to pick him up so he won't sit still long enough to let me get a photo.  I feel a little like this picture today.  To busy of a week and I'm tuckered out.

    I love the photo of Coleen and her glow stick, perfect shot. Your cat is gorgeous, what cat isn't I say :-). We've lived on Compounds with large numbers of Americans and their decorating was bar none the best-this H. decoration is too cute. And how do you get your header which is lovely so large?

    Sick in bed. Feel just like that witch.

    That glow stick shot is fab.

    I like your SWF offering. It always amazes me that One Tree can have so many faces simultaneously.

    Your cat is precious! That's one big corn maze. I took the grandson to one like that an hour from here two years ago. I didn't think I'd make it through the maze but A-maze-ingly I did! :-) Love the photo of the grand-daughter with the glow stick. My hubby took some incredible slides at Ocean View Amusement Park years ago that has that same sort of light travel and they are really cool. If I can ever find them I want to get copies made, scan and post them. Nice post!

    Cool shot with Coleen and the glo-stick! That corn maze looks like fun. I love seeing your cat and other people's cats. Wish I had one right now purring away on my lap. I miss my cats. One of these days I'll join in.

    Hi Ida,
    Great colored leaves, our's have been quite dull this year.This corn maze thing is amazing to me. I get lost easily without paying to get lost in a corn field. Your glow stick pic is great, I'm not good at this night stuff. What a great shot of Mr. Squirrel! My favorite Halloween decor is the witch flying into a telephone pole decoration...sick me! I don't want to be catty, but I'm not a cat guy. Have a great weekend. Tom The Backroads Traveller

    I haven't mastered taking spider web shots yet either. Yours looks great though. That is a cool effect with the glow stick. I love how she's framed by it!

    Squirrel's photo is fantastic! Perfect timing! I love spider web pics also. I saw on on my garage one day on my way to work. By the time I returned it was gone. Glad you were able to catch one.

    Gorgeous collage of the maple leaves. So many wonderful photos here. My favourites: Coleen (of course!) and the squirrel (I can't believe that pose!).
