by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living things
and the whole of nature and its beauty.

Great reflections in the second photo, Genie!
That fence is really nice...it sure does provide lots of privacy!
Thanks for playing FF

Oh these are gorgeous shots. I also love the last one. B
I'm always happy to take a look at nature's beauty. She does make some beautiful things. Your shots are lovely!
aww...love it...
«Louis» hopes you and your family had a splendid Thanksgiving, Genie!
I could have sworn I'd commented on that 2nd image... The rocks in the foreground is what caught my attention!
Both cool shots & thanks so much for the comment you left... You're too kind & I appreciate you immensely! =)
Wonderful images, I like the way you present them.
I hope you had a great Thanksgiving with lots to be thankful for.
Your photos have so much soul--the B &Ws in the first post and then in this one. The fence that Gene built respects privacy without being unfriendly. And that last shot just says end of November so eloquently.
That is a gorgeous fence! I love the weathered grey surface. It's a well built fence that is decorative as well as serving it's purpose: keeping something in and something else out. Also love the fall colors and the shadow. The second shot is lovely too.
The river scene is breathtaking, Genie!
ENSCONCED IN THE SKY
If I were firmly ensconced in the sky,
Earth wouldn’t matter, and I’ll tell you why:
I would be dancing with millions of stars,
Or whirling around from Venus to Mars,
Then I’d consort with a comet or two—
Life would be good, from my point of view!

Sky photos here and here
Both images are lovely and I particularly like the Maury River photo.
Thanks for your visit and comment on my Friday Fences entry. Hope you're having a great start to the weekend. =)
great reflections!
Beautiful shots, love the Autumnal colours
Lovely colours, well-captured!
I love the photos. Nature is just outstanding at providing us with things to amaze and delight.
That second one is very vintage!!! Love the colors and the vintage look!!!
I like the treatment on the 22nd photo. Like a faded instamatic shot.
really lovely shot!
That's a very nice fence and what a fabulous gate. Your neighborhood looks like it's really enjoying autumn. I agree with the comment above...your second shot looks very vintage! Thanks for stopping by.
Gorgeous!
Visiting late from Skywatch, hope you can take a peek at my skywatch entry also. Thanks. Have a great weekend.
I love how the fence fits its surroundings so beautifully
Beautiful fence and love the texture on the second shot.
Lovely pictures, the second one is superb.
Beautiful nature shots.
Beautiful shots.
This is an interesting contrast - the suburban tract with a shadowy fence contrasted with the very rural and wild river. We may like to live in the nice house on most occasions, but really enjoy the occasional escape to the country. Neat!
Beautiful shadows!
Shadow at my page, please come and see.
That's great how the first tree is reflected into another complete tree. You get 2 for 1, must be black Friday.
i just love the shadow on the fence, photographed shadows are amazing!!
beautiful reflection in the second one, soft interesting shades of color in the water!!
I love the reflection shot. Both are good but that one really grabs me.
The tree shadow on the fence is bold and profound!
SHADOWY DELIGHT
Shadows above me, shadows below,
Shadows beside me, wherever I go;
Shadows each morning, shadows at night—
Shadows, O shadows, you’re my delight!
