Happy Monday, friends! Dale and I were away this weekend so I’m going with an easy Monday post today, a look back at the month of October.

It was a super fun month with lots of Jackie time plus some crafting, plenty of great food and drink, plants and foliage and knitting and friends.

November will bring it’s own photographic challenges: the light is gone by the time I’m home from work and the opportunities for outside photos are slim. I’ll make it work, though, because my daily photo practice is one that truly matters to me and I’ve been at it for a long, long time.

Here’s to a great week ahead, friends!

Oh man, yesterday was a day. I am so not a phone person and yet I spent the better part of the day on the phone because work. Different issues, different fires to help put out, eight separate phone calls . . .  it made for a loooooong day.

All of which is to say that my energy for writing a great blog post is sapped. All you get today is a watercolor of some fall foliage I photographed from the roof of a parking garage. I hope those colors make you happy.

If they don’t . . . sorry . . . and please don’t call me to tell me. Heh.

I’ve got a hot minute to get this post done . . . Dale and I are due at a function and should be leaving in 5 minutes and he’s asking me what he should wear . . . and I need to pack for a conference I’m going to for the next two days . . . and I’ve got a new laptop that’s pretty sweet but also making it so things take much longer than they used to as I adjust . . . and I’ve got a stuffy nose that might be a cold or perhaps allergies . . . and . . . well . . .

you get a watercolor.

Happy October 2nd!

We’re at the end of September and it’s fall but today I’m throwing it back to summer because – get this – I never showed you my photos and video from August. I was late with July, too, so I guess this is just routine now. In any case, it seems like a long time ago!

It was a beautiful month. I took lots of photos of people, or at least lots for me, plus the usual flowers, food and drink.

The video is full of great memories, too, with vacation and the beach as well as plenty of fun times.

I’ll try and get my act together with my September recap and share it next week. Maybe.
