These leaves were illuminated by evening sunlight reflected off of some windows across the street. At least they were for a couple of minutes each day till they finally fell off.

This is one of the nicer rods that I’ve seen on the street (as opposed to in a show). It’s a 35 Dodge pickup with a bunch of hydraulic bits, air suspension, and bed cover, doors, and such. The motor isn’t exactly period, as it’s a late model V10 Viper engine with 450 hp. Note the 5 exhaust tubes in the manifold. The most amazing thing is that the owner lost his arms in an industrial accident and drives it with his feet. Hence all the hydraulics.

I’m surprised that it took so long for Ben to play with a camera. He’s been playing with phones for at least 8 months, and we’ve been taking pictures at least as often as we’ve been talking on the phone.

We found this tree when out on a walk to find Christmas lights.

Ok, mid afternoon at the lake. But the golden hour light came in at about 3:30, so it looks like sunset from here.

6 years, 2330 posts, 1400 images, (at least) 5 different physical servers, and something like 50 gigs of traffic.

Cause about 6 years ago, I started flipping the home page on this blog, just a little ahead of the Editthispage.com rollout.

(and before that I wasn’t flipping the home page, just editing it. So I don’t really have a record of that early stuff)

Christmas, already. We’ll see if the tree survives Ben.

The somewhat muted lighting does tend to wipe away the shadows and to enhance the saturation of things that aren’t concrete grey. They had the big lock drained so that they could do some maintaince on it, leaving about a foot of water in the bottom. Lots of seagulls were having a great time going after the suddenly vulnerable crabs and starfish.

The leaves still have wonderful color.

Not too much of a cliche.
