Finally, a Monday I'll remember fondly. It might be the 13th, but it was a positive one nonetheless, thanks to the abundance of sunshine and almost no wind. Perfect conditions for a walk and for pursuing my photography passions.

Today, as planned, I took a walk to the open-air museum. There were almost no people there, peace and quiet, a rural atmosphere, and beautiful autumn scenery.

Of course, while visiting the open-air museum, I didn't forget about my charges. The jackdaws and chickadees were fed, as the crows didn't show up for their meeting today.

There's no plan for tomorrow, except to finish work on the balcony. Most of the plants have already been cut down, and the soil has gone back into the ground. I'm feeling increasingly excited about leaving for Jordan. I hope nothing goes wrong.
