Perfection! How Do We React To It?

A beautiful apple may cause the same reaction in me as it did to Philemon however I'd probably photograph it first. There certainly is a lot of beauty around us to photograph today with all the Fall colors (but as mentioned in yesterday's post "don't eat the leaves").

This short video was shot yesterday in Minot's Scandinavian Heritage Park. It was shot around 6PM and the temp was still around 80 degrees. Soon the water pump will be turned off allowing the pond to be drained and of course the man-made waterfall will stop feeding the little creek that consequently feeds the two ponds in the park.

While most of the trees in the park are pines you can still see a few trees changing colors.

Do you enjoy the cartoons written by my son (Timmothy N. Timm) which I use as a springboard to write my daily posts? His strip, Titus & Philemon, has run in two newspapers for years as well as being printed in my blog every day. Titus & Philemon (pronounced Phi - Lee -Man) are guinea pigs. Their owner is Joe. Timmothy has never repeated a joke/comic strip in the 12 years he has been writing it. He has never copied another strip, such as Peanuts or Garfield. You can follow Timmothy on FB as Titus & Philemon and you can also check him out on Instagram as Instagram.com/titus and philemon/ .For Timmothy's website type timmtimmothy.com into your browser. I tried to put it in a link here but it refuses to work. Do NOT put anything in front of timmtimmothy.com or it will not work.

Good morning Nina Hollander, Broker . It's not a large park but it sure is enjoyable to walk through. If you ever pass through I hope we can walk through it together.

Good morning Bob. 80 degrees at 6PM in October is unheard of but the leaves changing colors are on time regardless of the weather. Enjoy it while you can.

This is such an unusual Fall Wayne Martin . Most autumns it seem the leaves are eager to change colors and fall, along with the grass going dormant, put it's like they are also sticking around to enjoy the warmer that usual weather.

Good Friday morning, Bob. Enjoy the colors of the season and have a great day. We have lots of leaves to rake in Maryland.

I am enjoying the colors Roy Kelley and just yesterday our grape vine started changing to red. It's the only red in our sea of yellow trees so the contrast is really pretty.

I can definitely understand his excitement upon seeing it, but I would certainly want to wait for the pie to be finished, haha.

I know how you fee. The temperature in the pool dropped to 82 degrees yesterday. It is that time of year to get the solar heater working.

We will be turning on our heaters soon Jeffrey DiMuria 321.223.6253 Waves Realty . I actually ran it once early September just to make sure it was in good working order for winter once winter does strike.

Good morning Bob,

I can see why you filmed Scandinavian Heritage Park! What a lovely place to enjoy..you are lucky to have such a serene place!

It is amazing how serene it is Dorie Dillard Austin TX . Our busiest street in town runs along the East side of it and on the South side another fairly busy street carries residential traffic to schools and businesses in that area. The water and the trees keep one from hearing and noticing the busy world right next door.

Hello Bob and thank you for sharing the video with us today in the Rain.  Alway like the comic strips daily also.

I would have liked to have made the video longer but I didn't want to take the risk that a longer one would keep people from watching it.
