You can't find any better fall beauty than where I live.

Wool Felted Acorns

My second fall with the acorns that Mau & I made last year. I also collected a few real acorns to add into the bowl.

The wooden bowl I bought for $2.00 at the Jewish Women's Thrift Store in LA, my favorite place to shop in LA. Next time I visit the antique store I want to bring it with me to see if it old or not. His definition of an "antique" is 100 years. I also bought a Noah's Ark item. It's at the dry cleaner right now. I can't wait to show you that. Would have paid twice what they charged me. Nothing is priced in the store. You have to ask what the cost is for any item you are interested in. I go in with grubby clothes & no jewelry. : )

Wordless Wednesday

Every fall I put this Crate & Barrel pumpkin plate in my wire locker basket.

Can't explain why I like the look of that plate in the basket. I look forward each fall to putting it in.

Fall Birch Tree

Taken behind my local elementary school.

Hopefully one day the birch tree we planted in our side yard will be as big as this tree.

Replacement

Well, I finally broke down & purchased a replacement for Agent 99. I've spent this week adding addresses to the "Favorites" and figuring out how the 1350 works.

This time I have the dash mounted holder, with the window mount you are asking for theft. (The window mount leaves a mark after the mount is removed.)

I can't think of a name for 1350. I need your help. I need a girls name that says, "I'm smart." Any suggestions?

I guess I'm ready for a trip!

Fall Sports

Bob came out of retirement and is now a high school athletic director. He asked me to take a few photos of each of the fall sport teams.
Finding a pink slip on your desk is not a good thing. No, they are not getting rid of him!

Taking photos of fast moving subjects is very difficult.

Taking photos inside a dark pool, is very difficult.

I much prefer to be outside.
I have lots of photos of this collision. Wish I didn't have those buildings, power lines & silo in the background.
They do have football. Mike took those photos for Bob. I have one more sport to cover, cross country, that won't take place until the end of the month. I think it will be another challenging sport to photograph. Next time you watch a professional game on TV, look at the lens they have on their cameras. There is good reason why they are so big. Also, they cost thousands of dollars.
