Frosty morning to end October. Photo does not show it but it is raining leaves in the backyard.

Looks like a low of 25 here this morning. Brrrrrr.

Growing season officially over at KIND with the temp at 30 degrees for the last ten minutes.

10-21 Just a normal sunset. Taken when I got out to the overpass looking north with the 24-70mm at 24mm... Looking west at sunset with the 24-70mm at 70mm... Looking south at the post sunset color with a nice half Moon hidden in there. Taken ith the 24-70mm at 42mm...

10-17 Some mid-day cirrus from the baseball field. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

10-16 If I remember correctly this day as mostly overcast but around lunchtime, the sky broke for just an hour with some photogenic alto-cumulus and just bits of scud to make an interesting image. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

Nothing like browsing through sunshine images during drizzly overcast days. The sunset from 10-3. Taken with the 24-70mm at 33mm...

Time for weatherbo's asphalt on the driveway to disappear underneath a glacier, not to reappear until May.

9-24 had a bit of a sun pillar post sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...

The race between color and leaf drop is being run here the past couple of days. We all know which will win.

9-23 had another similar sunset to the last one. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm...

9-19 and back to the sunsets. Best image of the night. Taken with the 24-70mm at 33mm...

9-11 Six days later I was back at the laundromat for another colorful sunrise. Taken with the 24-70mm at 41mm... And a horizontal image. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm...

9-5 had a colorful sunrise. This one image was taken at the laundromat as I watched and waited on stuff going round and round, I stepped outside for this image. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm...

9-4 had a similar sunset. Pre-sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 70mm... Post sunset. Taken with the 24-70mm at 55mm...

You can definitely tell when the uppers lows parked over Ontario and Quebec.

Getting harder and harder to find the edges of the walking/riding trails now around here. From today.

Just saw a news story that Waukesha, Wi is diverting Lake Michigan water to their city. But of course they are suppose to put back more water into the river than they pull out of the Great Lake.

I am sure it is more preventative maintenance. Better to be early rather than late and burn out a pump.

Totally anecdotal but they shut off the fountains at the southside park and in the hospital retention ponds last week. Fall is here and they are expecting the freezing weather.

8-28 was sneaky sly and also balls-to-the-wall all at the same time. The sly sneaky as the sundog creeping in underneath the cloud deck on the south side of the Sun. Taken with the 24-70mm at 55mm... The balls-to the wall was the orange post sunset. Definitely a "Houston, we are GO for orange" moment. Taken with the 24-70mm at 35mm... And the mixture was as all the colors were exiting the region. What a fantastic evening. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... Goodnight my darlin', wherever you are...

8-19 was about texture and color. When I got out to the overpass, it was all texture in the alto-cumulus looking south. Taken with the 244-70mm at 24mm... Some post sunset color looking west. Taken with the 24-70mm at 50mm... A little bit of texture and a little bit of color looking north. Taken with the 24-70mm at 27mm...

8-12 was about the crepuscular rays/cloud shadows. The most vivid. Taken with the 24-70mm at 24mm... The faintest. Taken with the 24-70mm at 44mm...
