We have a pond close by and I am certain he would enjoy wintering here in Texas.<br />Thank you for this walk among the glorious changing colors as Fall sheds her cloak for another season.<br />Happy Friday!<br />xo<br />JemmaJemma@athomewithjemmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01137225389791605398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-15122040738117858712015-11-13T04:32:30.465-05:002015-11-13T04:32:30.465-05:00There is something poignant about these last weeks...There is something poignant about these last weeks befor winter takes over.

Ditches out here don't look that good. Actually, we have few ditches in Colorado Springs where water is at a premium. We have a few creeks, and even a couple of rivers. <br /><br />The photos of Harry are stunning. I love the different views you gave us of him. I look forward to seeing him next spring.<br />Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5681875145919050501.post-17873539359593382332015-11-09T15:18:14.341-05:002015-11-09T15:18:14.341-05:00Beautiful photos!
