last whisper
Yes, I’m fine.
I bring it up because this is the fourth day in a row that I have posted a color photograph, which is probably a record for me.

lake, after rain
It’s not New England level of fall color*, but we do the best we can, even if we have to rely on an assist from the red car and yellow van in the background.

*Disclosure: I’ve never been to New England in the fall and am basing this statement on seeing approximately 400 zillion photos full of trees and leaves and hills and barns and color and whatnot.
fall colors
The weather forecast promised rain all day on Sunday. I was very excited because I’d spotted a thing I wanted to photograph in the rain, with reflections coming off the wet pavement. The rain’s arrival time got later and later every time I looked at the forecast, and by about 4:00, I decided to drive all the way across town in hopes that maybe the rain would have arrived by the time I got there. (I had something else to do later in the afternoon so my rain-window was pretty narrow.)
Anyway, it didn’t start raining while I was out, so I didn’t get the shot I wanted. But I did find this nicely colored scene.
(The rain eventually arrived about midnight but I did not go out and get the shot, as I was busy sleeping. It’ll rain again someday. I think.)

Did you think my account was hacked or something when you saw this color landscape photo?
To be honest I am sort of surprised by it as well, but it really is a photo that I made. On purpose.

the fish and the photographers
Those silly fish thought we were there to feed them, but of course that wasn’t at all what we were there for. If you look closely, you can see the reflections of my friend and I and we were definitely taking photos and ignoring the fist.
Later that morning we had a lovely picnic in a park, so we did feed ourselves. But still didn’t feed those fish.
