November 20, 2009

As if the events of the first few weeks of November weren't enough, I lost my job of sixteen years on the 12th. There are no excuses, however, for ditching the outdoors. I spent many hours quietly still hunting our woods Beyond Bibbs Store. The leaves were still crisp, and rustled all around in the breeze and underfoot making the woods pretty noisy until late afternoon when the wind died and nap time called. I took this shot with my phone camera as I lay down to doze in a leaf pile by an old log in the late afternoon November 20.
