This is a perfect morning to stay inside and paint, but I put on my boots, instead and went out to take photos.  This is the holly tree in my front yard, with the bare woods behind.  I love living in the woods.  Watching the birds and deer and squirrels enriches my life and fills my heart.  Occasionally we get lucky and see raccoons, flying squirrel, chipmunks, etc.  Life is good.
