Having lost the ability to post on Xanga, I think that I will be moving my infrequent blog over this way.  I don't know how exactly to do it on here, so I will do some experimenting with loading some photos.  Below, are some photos from fall, 2013 here in south Alabama after getting home from Peru.  I want to see how easily posted photos can be, because they were a pain on my Xanga site.  Already, it looks like this will be a lot easier, and I think that I might like it.  We will see.

Satsumas ready to be picked outside our house

The cotton field that is next to our house, "white unto harvest

Individual cotton bolls bursting open

A leaf of a buckeye tree, ready to fall off in a day or so

More buckeye leaves

Popcorn tree leaves--a pest tree, but nice color in the fall

Cypress trees by the pond, getting ready to shed their leaves

Looking back across the pond towards the field

Pond, with cotton on a crisp fall day

Perhaps the last canna lily of the summer, as they will soon die and be gone
