October is about to blow in, and it is blowing in cold. Walked from my car to the office today and it was shirtsleeve warm weather. Came out tonight and wished I had my jacket. Temps dropped like a rock, it’s going to be in the 40s tonight and the heat is on…
The heat's on
Time of day, time of year and weather all combine to control the view out of my office window…

Unlike my cousin’s cats, who seem to pose for her beautifully, mine start to run every time they see me coming with camera in hand OR they stick their noses right up against the lens. So I have precious few shots of the little monsters. Tonight, though, I managed to catch Ciara in an unwary moment…

Let’s see here… 100 wins so far, best record in MLB, clinched the AL East… and swept Boston. How sweet it is…
Yanks 4, Boston 2
I try to look around every so often to see what in my immediate vicinity might make a good image. The cats? They won’t sit still. My furniture? Boring. The kitchen fixings? Been there done that. But there’s that grate over there…

I really enjoy the drive to and from the Cook Student Organic Farm where, I am glad to report, my summer share may be over but my fall share has another eight weeks to go. I’m awfully glad I didn’t opt for the shorter share period… Just before the farm there is a pond on both sides of Ryders Lane. I’ve gotten the west bound side once or twice. Today I managed to get a couple of different views of the east bound side.

I haven’t had much chance to get out to do sunset shots. There aren’t too many really photogenic locations nearby that I can get to in time after leaving the office as late as I usually do. But things kind of worked out today for a couple of somewhat different sunset shots…

School nights are really hard. Busy busy all day and then on well into the night. I came home with a great idea of trying to replicate an image I’d seen, and discovered I just don’t have the equipment for it. So… what to shoot… what to shoot… and my eye fell on a small white brush…
Row upon row...
Not at all sure about the shot, but… hey, at least I shot something today.
An awful lot of these have gone up all over the building in the past few weeks. (I suspect the state has a lot more requirements for the Rutgers Business School, which now occupies floors 2-11, than private industry ever had for the rest of us schmoes who’ve been in the building forever…) And I hafta say… I really don’t feel any safer.
I don't feel safer...
Busy busy day… no time to even think about shooting, and then somehow switched the camera onto a setting where not all of the controls work, and I do that so rarely I had no idea what was wrong. So I grabbed what I could grab… and the sign on the gas pump was what I could grab.
Stop engin!
