November 8, 2017

Frost on the roof.  This may be the first actual frost we had in the autumn of 2017. 

This maple tree looked like a ginkgo -- dropping all of its leaves on one day.

Falling leaves.....

Still shot, with moon.

Ice on the top of the compostables bin, with maple leaf.

Same as above, from a different angle.

I went downtown for lunch with friends.  I was early, so I wandered into the library and looked at tools.  I'm sad that the library doesn't have as many books as once it had, but it's cool that they have so many interesting tools for us to borrow.

Excellent stencil on music-tool case.

Do you know what this is?  Me, neither.

Hmm.  I still don't know what it is, really.  I should probably check it out and discover what it is.......

So many different kinds of tools!

Want to guess what's in this big case?

I should definitely check this one out.  :-)  I checked out one a year or so ago that had a cast of a T. rex tooth and brain, but not a big chunk of skull!

Here's another intriguing opportunity.......

Hey, look!  All right!!!!!

On my way home.  Perhaps this may become my favorite non sequitur..........  (this is on the sidewalk -- note my shoe in the lower left corner)

I can think of a LOT of things that are more discouraging than chickens or literature.........  But perhaps, between the two of them, it's a hard choice?



Rose hip.

This rose looks a bit sad, but it's still hanging in there.  On November 8.

This one looks pretty good.

This is not the first time I've seen forsythia blooming in the fall.  The leaves get purple, and then they bloom..........

Fiery little oak tree in West Park.

Two different maples.
