WILLY-NILLY FRIDAY FIVE





1.  Spotted in the Sky earlier this week:


Looking forward to the Balloon Stampede in October.

2. Captured a Spider in it's web the other day. - I love that the box it attached it's web to says Fragile Handle With Care.



3.  A Shot of the spray from the fountain on Whitman College Campus.  One of the shots I considered for 52 Frames water theme 2 weeks ago.
 
 


I actually ended up using this shot instead:

 
4.  Some Autumn leaves spotted on the trail at Rooks Park.  I thought they were pretty.

5.  A bunny spotted in Rooks Park - I was able to get pretty darn close to it before it hopped off.  So cute!

    Ida, you take amazing pictures. The spider...yikes...an Orb Weaver. Their webs are so intricate. Nice job! You & her!
    Your fill-ins are thoughtful and sweet. I agree, too, my friend...except spending. *ack* I don't like shopping at all.
    HUGS!

    Hi Ida, Very pretty photos. The balloon is so colorful. That is such a fun pic of the bunny and of course, I love your cat. We've had 3 at the vet this week, so I can sympathize. Hope your dental work is complete and that you can rest/relax this weekend.

    Saving money can be like a full time job. However, it pays off. Money you save on a purchase isn't normally taxed.

    Hello Ida! I love the photos you shared today. I'm looking for some new memes and think I'll check out these links. I love hot air balloons and riding in one is on my bucket list. I'm happy you chose the close up of the fountain edge; love the water dripping off the side. I also like looking at spider webs up close. They are so intricate and amazing. Autumn is almost here, weather wise, in middle Missouri. I'm looking forward to the cooler temps.

    The balloon picture is stunning, as are your water photos! And such a lovely capture of the leaf too, and your precious kitty. I enjoyed your fill-in-the-blank answers, and I especially agree about blogging, what an incredible world of friendship it has opened up! So thankful for our friendship that has endured, I still think of you as I sip hot tea in my rooster mug sent from you :) Hope life settles down for you, how is your Mom doing? Hugs :)

    Lovely images, Ida. I'm fascinated by the autumn leaves as well. I keep carrying them home from dog-walks. I love your fountain image - those moment in time water shots are amazing.
