October 11

.

Slanting morning light, on a foggy autumn morning.



Farmers' market.  Peppers, squashes.




I don't know the name of this squash -- aren't they cool?



Maple.




The two previous pics were taken in shade.  Here are the same two leaves, in bright sun.  I like the shadows, especially of the stems.......



I was surprised to walk into the downstairs half-bath and discover this circle-section reflection on the wall.  I couldn't figure what was causing it.  My perspicacious better half realized it was the shiny "silver" frame around the medicine-cabinet mirror.  The frame's front is curved (the frame is rectangular, and fronts of the sides and ends of that rectangle are rounded).  It was that roundedness that was the cause of this curved reflection.  Weird.



Wow, eh?  Three maples.



Morning glories.



Maple, in the strong, slanting late-afternoon sun.



The same maple, in the shade.



One more time, on different pavement......



The back side of this leaf was very fuzzy.  You can see the fuzz around the edge, and if you look down the vein that has a shadow, you can see some more fuzz.  The whole back of the leaf was fuzzy.



We're not the only ones who call it The Rat House.



More and more skeletons have joined the rats.



Rats, skeletons, chalk basket.



Some of the rats are big.  This seated one is at least a foot tall.




Maple leaf stain on the sidewalk.

Love the maple leaf stain!

I love the maple-leaf stains. We have a lot of new sidewalk, where broken or shifted-by-tree-root squares have been replaced. The newer pavement is paler, and the stains show up better....
