If the river could speak
what tales would it tell?

Of Assiniboine, Crow, Cree,
Ojibway, Blackfeet and Hidatsa
floating on fur-laden bull boats,
to the fort to trade for beads,
blankets and cloth?

Of the whitetail doe and
her fawn ...

Yes, judih. Each and every one. I have another that I use to strum my dulcimer, but no pictures of that one.

Gee, thanks everyone for your feather contributions!

Beautiful lilies, Sober Duck. Not a flower I get to see very often, that's for sure.
Yes, snow! We usually have first snow in September but it held off until October this year and hit us with a double whammy. Power lines were downed and electricity was out over quite an extended area. Winds were ...

Nice one, Sober Duck! Birds of a feather, indeed! So... we shall turn this into a 'feather' thread.

So I had to seek out the male figures as well after feasting my eyes on images of the female form. Very inspiring!

Took this one today during my lunch break. Slight digital manipulation. Had to bring them inside on my sun porch as we had a blizzard yesterday and freezing temps last night. Wonder how long I'll be able to keep it alive?

Placed on the painted floor of my sun porch, with sunlight streaming in through one of the many windows.

In a word... stunning!
Good photography along with awesome vistas.

Me too! The slightest breeze sets the leaves to dancing, much like a quaking leaf aspen. I have a HUGE cottonwood right across the road from my house. So very impressive.

What a hoot, Doreen!
Sorry about your cousin, though.

Wow! Stunning shots, all. Hope you enjoyed playing around with these as much as I enjoyed viewing the results. But look at that canvas! What artist could go wrong?!
