Choir Retreat

Our choir retreat was postponed this year from early October to this last weekend.  It was lovely to be in the mountains (3500-4000 ft) in autumn rather than late summer.  It was clear and cooler than we're used to with daytime temperatures about 55F and nighttime temperatures getting close to freezing. 

We sang, had Bible study, sang some more, ate, had music class, sang some more, ate, and enjoyed each others company.  It was lovely.

Here is some of the scenery:

The lower sprays of red are pyracantha berries.

Manzanita trunk

 

Mountain Scrub Jay

 

Disappointed geese and ducks as I had no treats for them.

My early morning companion, he belongs to someone
