For my landscape photo today, I have a moody morning scene at the bridge beside the house.


A photo from the Fall Festival


Out in The Shire, 'MR BLACK' and BON JOVI are enjoying a play in the leaves.



HENRY is concerned that his salad is turning brown!!


and this sweet female Cardinal pretends she DOESN'T look like a chicken!!!!!


Back on the home front, something a little special for the occasion today. Does everyone remember the Haunted House that I made out of pizza boxes a couple of years ago? Well my good friend Niki of Pawsitively Creative Crafts suggested I grab some shots of Nemo checking out the house. Great idea Doc!!






Last but not least, my macro for today.


That's it for today. Thank you for stopping in and for all the amazing comments. If you have any questions or interesting tidbits about today's wildlife, please let me know.

  11. Wow Pamellia, your Halloween card is soooo classy!!! I have never tought that a Halloween card could be sweet, too! :D Breathtaking work of art! Amazing papers and details, love expecially the distressed banners and that white pumpkin!!
    Your furry/feathered friends are always cute and fun, that cardinal made me smile so much! And the shots of Nemo checking out the house are so striking!!!! Fabulous!!! He seems a bit worry, too... strange place... eheh :D
    Amazing shot of the bridge at early morning, pupkins and such a fabulous macro of these beautiful leaves!
    I think that Henry has arrived at the Shire during spring time... He seems young... and peraphs he will have nothing to eat this winter! I didnt know, but I don't think he will go to lethargy. I'm worry for him :(

  16. So very Shabby Chic Halloween make Pamellia! Love that background paper with Halloween writing on it. I'll have to get some of that and just admire it. I have such hard time cutting into expensive papers. Have a stack of them and just look at them from time to time...
    Thank you for the inspiration.

  35. Pamellia, no one can make Halloween look so feminine and delicate the way you have! I love these papers and how you've layered them up with your gorgeous bow, frame and flowers! The pumpkin charm looks great in white--the perfect shabby touch!

    I love your landscape moody shot--it just screams Halloween to me! Oh, how I wish you were here to photograph my Halloween yard; I know you could make it look amazing! Your wildlife photos are amazing and the subjects are beautiful! I especially love the cardinal/chicken one! Nemo looks a little frightened by what he sees in your amazing Halloween House! So good to see that is getting some post time again! You can believe I visit it often! Sending huge hugs to you!

  37. What a sweet and gentle Halloween card in comparison to most! Very very pretty and 'safe' Pamellia.

    The shots of Nemo in your haunted house are PRICELESS. Wow. Those shots should be in an animal magazine somewhere on the cover for Halloween next year. Just amazing. Nemo is soooo adorable!

    Loved seeing all your forest family too. They look fat - getting ready for the winter - so glad. Hoping that you will be for you to get to The Shire when there is snow and ice on the ground. Knowing you... and your love for the outdoors in all kinds of weather - you will!! j.

  38. You have showcased those Pion papers beautifully in this Halloween card and in a shabby style too, genius. I love the little pumpkin nestled in the seam-binding bow.

  39. Now that's a card! That's more than a card. That's a work of art.

    I love your outdoor shots. So beautiful and I had a little laugh at the animals. Such cute things. It makes me want to take a little more time to appreciate the awesomeness around me. It's easy to get way too busy and pass it all by, eh?

  40. First-your card is spectacular and I am flabbergasted about how you can add such an elegant touch to a Halloween card!?! My brain is overwhelmed with it. Haha! Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous.

    Your pics are so fun! I think Mr. Scruff and Bon Jovi would have a spectacular time frolicking in the Shire together, as long as their food stash isn't around to fight over. I am totally in love with Nemo and the Haunted House!!!!!!! What great pictures and details you have captured. I want to make him a little hat and scarf! Love love love it! And love the haunted house of course. Great minds came together for little Nemo's photo shoot! Can't wait to see what he gets into next. Hugz to you muffin! ~Doc

  47. Are Halloween cards supposed to be quite so gorgeous? Amazing papaers and I love the little pumpkin charm, just too cute.

    Beautiful nature shots again today, I just love them all and putting Nemo in the Haunted House is such a great idea.

  48. A really charming card - love the vintage nostalgia of it, and great to see Halloween in such delicate colour tones for a change. The photos of Nemo checking out your stunning house made me laugh - I've just shown them to Cestina (the dollhouse collector) and she loves them too.

    Gorgeous Fall photos - the autumn leaves are such a lovely feature along with the squirrels and co. Another fabulous macro picture too.
