I'm a long time banker having worked in banks since the age of 17. I took a break when I turned 50 and went back to school. I graduated right when the economy took a turn for the worst and after a year of library work found myself unemployed. I was lucky that my previous bank employer wanted me back. So here I am again, a long time banker. Change is hard.

I was lucky enough to notice this ONE tree that had dropped it’s red leaves…so I rushed home to get her and we did a little mini photo shoot.

She matches the leaves!! I need to get the Monk to pose like this — we don’t have that many leaves down yet though, and the way things are going, we’ll have snow before they fully drop!

She didn’t mind hanging out in the leaves at all. She’s getting to be a regular Christy Brinkly.

My goodness … look at that beautiful girl amongst all those crispy leaves. Penny, I think Mom must have taken your photo Saturday or Monday before all this pesky rain came along.

I think it was Friday. There was one beautiful tree at the library so I went home and got her for a mini photo shoot.

Friday was a gorgeous day too. I know you’re glad they are not your leaves and you have to rake them.

Beautiful! Great job posing for your mom, Penny! When I try to pose Brodie, all I get is his nose!

Penny says noses can be cute. She has an extra big one to share with anyone that wants to photograph it!
