Opportunity struck and Bianca took advantage of it. ☺. It's been almost 4 years since she arrived to live with me from the shelter. She has been a good cat...her only faults: being too good.
.
I missed my first opportunity
to get a photo of Bianca asleep on
my stereo on a dresser …
I didn’t have my camera next to me,
and when I moved to get it,
she went back to “normal” cat napping position….
but still on the stereo.
It was late/early
…almost 2 am
when I woke from my cat nap, saw her there,
and wanted to head to bed.
So I got my camera
and decided to wait for twenty minutes
to see if she would drape over the stereo again,
and just before time was up, she did it again..
.and I took several photos quickly…
luckily I was prepared…..
the opportunity wasn’t long,
seconds only, that she stayed like that !
.
Occasionally opportunity does strike twice☺.

Somesville, Maine, wetland Autumn beauty.
.
Across from the library, Somesville, Maine
.
Same view as above, but with reflection on the water.
.
The view to the right is this iconic scene that I never tire of. The refletion is amazing all times of the year. I'm also partial to the tall tree that has already lost it's foliage.
.
Another iconic nature scene in Maine is the blueberry bushes as they turn a rich red as the fall progresses.
.
==========================================
The view from my porch window
===================================
.
The haunted school house was thought to have ghosts traveling the halls
at night, and sometimes on gloomy and rainy days hiding in corners when
classes were in session.
Today was the day for photos to be taken, so everyone had fresh hair cuts
to look their best. As they were in line for their photos to be taken,
the alarm bell for the fire drill startled everyone who filed out … the kids in
the parking lot and the ghosts tried to hide in the bare limbs of the trees.
=============================================================
Music silences the noisy mind chatter
It has been time to settle the busyness of my mind….
thoughts going a mile a minute…like chatter on the
radio, a record caught in a track and repeating over and
over the same strains of music.
I hadn’t heard these fellows music before and realized
as they played, the mind chatter was slowing down and
starting to to be silent as the evening continued.

Music silences the noisy mind chatter.
