Shades of blue as surf breaks on an atoll in the South Pacific at Raiatea.

Fantastic pictures. Thanks to everyone who takes time to share. Vicki, that is really so special that those horses are not too shy of people. Do you give them a carrot or apple? We used to live in an area where there were wild burros. They would come up to you and let you touch them a bit, but some would bite, and you had to stay away from the rear feet! But it was fun to be with them. Sometimes we would throw out a bale of alfalfa for them. Susan, you live in a stunningly beautiful area. We're in the city--block after block of development. Living in an area like yours must really lift your spirits--the fall colors, the open space, fresh air. Lucky you!

The bridge we cross every time we go to town was built in 1965. It has many wooden supports under it, so many that there is a log/debris jam every spring. Sometimes, they brings a backhoe out, and have to sit on the bridge, reach down over the edge with the backhoe and break up the blockages. This spring, a fisherman called the sheriff and reported damage under the bridge. Missing support, a truss is also broken. The MN Department of Transportation decided it can be open this year, but only one lane. They brought out a portable traffic signal. You sit right in the lane, when you are west-bound) while cars come towards you (slowly, thankfully). A nice fall day, though going under it is rather un-nerving. Next summer, we will be taking the longer way to town, they figure this will take 5 months to replace. Hopefully, this time around they will use metal and design a way to not have so many supports. The following year, they will replace the smaller bridge between this bridge and our house, so we will be taking the longer way to town for the next two years.

This marmot has 5 babies. They marked the mother and one of the babies with black dye in addition to ear tags. We stopped a lady w/ a butterfly net for info., she said they track all the generations and breeding...

Sorry, I sometimes do it but often forget! That was taken in Old Perlican, Newfoundland, Canada on Friday.

Just beautiful Karen. Love your pictures of sea ice and ice bergs, they are my favorites.

Me being nosy, I looked up Old Perlican. Those ice floes or bergs, which way are they going? Into the bay? If so, what happens then?

They're not big icebergs, just sea ice or "slob ice". Maybe even "bergy bits" - pieces of icebergs that have broken off. Yes, they'll probably get pushed into the bay with the tide and winds. They're not big enough to damage a boat so they'll just stay there until they melt or float out again. If it were a big iceberg - well, too bad! Nothing can be done except towing them and that's a big job and dangerous and if an iceberg blocks the entrance to a harbour then people just wait until it's not blocking it anymore.

I have photos of the ice formations on the rocks in the Berkshires that are fantastic colors -- but I don't feel like looking for them. lol!

Doing some gardening tonight and I decided to snap a quick pic... didn't realize I was set in 'square' mode so missed some hostas. :(
