From my studio windows....
It's been an unseasonably warm Autumn here and the colors are lingering beautifully.  Here's an image from my studio yesterday before the Maple tree burst into bright yellow.  This doe had her fawns with her and immediately following the photo a buck came galloping through and they all ran into the woods.  Today before painting, I was lingering in the warm breeze on the porch where I watched two flocks of turkeys browsing beneath the tree as well.  The squirrels are always entertaining as they cautiously spy on the turkeys from behind the tree.  My hubby is always feeding the wildlife.  It's just wonderful to be so intimate with nature.
