Autumn Oak

This has been a protracted Fall. It seems to be happening in stages with some nice foliage colors at each stage — not the impact of when they all turn at once, but still nice.
Perhaps it’s the weather. Week to week, or even day to day, I’m never certain what to expect so why would trees be any less confused.

During one of my recent visits to a local park, on a warm day, this young lad was burning up the walking/riding path on his two-wheeler.

This past week I spent time interviewing and then training my replacement for the IT Manager position at the non-profit agency I’ve been working at. The new person’s going to be good and the agency was indeed lucky to have found him.

When we first adopted our dog Maggie riding in a car was her least favorite thing to do. She would whine and often howl like a siren and then throw up after only a few miles. A trip to the vet. was dreaded by both her and I.

I finished photographing the 22 local churches selected for the 2013 calendar of the agency I work for. I’m now post processing the images to black-and-white as well as removing unavoidable obstructions from the images…signs, power lines, light poles, etc. I’m having a little easier time of it this year as only a couple of the churches were on main city streets with all that brings.
