Willly Nilly Friday Five and Feline Friday

Welcome!

Wow summer is almost officially over since Fall starts in 2 weeks.  Where did the time go?

Joining Tom (The Backroads Traveller) today for:
WILLY NILLY FRIDAY FIVE

CLICK TO ENLARGE PHOTOS

1.  The last time I posted for WNFF - I posted the photo below and promised to share a closer view of the sculpture so as promised below is a better view.




I really like this sculpture.  There was another one across the street that I'll share another time (got to keep you anticipating)
 
2.  We took a drive over the the Tri-Cities (Pasco, Kennewick, Richland) to a music store last month.  On the way back I spotted a bunch of birds sitting on some rocks on the riverbank.  I spotted a Pelican perched on a large rock and asked hubby to stop so I could get a photo.  It was posing so nicely.  Well just as I got down to where I thought I could get a decent photo the birds all flew off and this is all I got.  (No Pelicans here, just Seagulls).
 
 
It still turned out pretty cool.  The reason the birds flew.....
 
 

 Someone let their dog out...oh that made me mad.

3.  I love the area we live in.  Lots of mountains and fields to visit.  Took this shot of a plowed field while drive up Scenic Loop last week.

 
I found the patterns rather fascinating.
 
4.  I participate in a group called 52 Frames and last week my Purple Cow was chosed as one of the 52 Committee Picks for the weekly theme.  The theme was,  "Purple."  -  Coleen helped me by making me an Oragami Cow.  I was inspired by the little poem:

The Purple Cow

I never saw a Purple Cow,
I never hope to see one,
But I can tell you, anyhow,
I’d rather see than be one!
 



 5.  More deer sightings.  Look at the impressive rack on the Buck.  I sure hope he makes it through hunting season.



 Bonus shot: 


A black and white of part of the Wedding Fountain in Pioneer Park.
 
My music selection today isn't my typical music style.  I was just surprised to learn that one of my favorite Hallmark Actresses (Alicia Witt) is also an accomplished pianist and singer.  I actually like her voice so may have to purchase some of her albums.
 
 


Something funny for FELINE FRIDAY:  (Comedy Plus)

Can't leave without sharing one of our kitties to:
 
 
 Not the clearest shot but I had to shot quickly before he sucked that little tongue back in!  -  This one is Bandit.

  1. I love this sculpture! So much good detail. It harks back to older times so perfectly. The FIELD, oh MY!! It is gorgeous, with patterns upon patterns. What an awesome shot!! The purple origami cow is so cute! It is perfect. So much of nature has folds in it, including our own DNA! I love your feline Friday. Such a cute picture of Bandit!

  6. Love all your shots. The sculpture is pretty awesome. Too bad about the dogs scaring the birds away. The pattern in that plowed field is great. The purple cow has to be my favorite. When I was in first grade our class did a play where everyone Mac to stand up and recite a poem. The purple cow was my poem and to this day I still remember every word.
