Visiting Frank Gehry’s amazing creation for Seattle’s Experience Music Project with my daughter yielded a few interesting shots…

We had our first rain of the fall last weekend. Not counting one thunderstorm in September, we haven’t seen precipitation since early June.  I walked up to the barn to feed animals the next morning, and relished the change in color from the moisture.  The sun was breaking through the clouds, highlighting familiar views in a new way.  I took a few photos, now posted on flickr, to capture the change in color that moisture brings.

While feeding the horses, I heard a commotion behind the shed. I snuck around to see about thirty turkeys (they begin flocking in large numbers in Autumn).  A coyote, amazingly close to the flock, decided I was move interesting than his quarry, and stared for a few seconds before vanishing down the slope. I was too slow with the camera to get a shot, and had to satisfy myself with a shot of a turkey up a tree.  All around me turkeys were dropping ungracefully to the ground to scamper off.

First rain of turkeys of the season, too, I suppose…
