Stanford foliage, 1/2

Peeking out at the crisp and colourful foliage.

Also, esteemed Stanford mathematician.

Palo Alto leaf peeping

The Sheraton hotel in Palo Alto has colourful choices in parking lot foliage.

Admittedly, if you click through and double check the photo date, this is a bit of a cheat — I didn't get around to emptying out my point'n'shoot in time, and thus, the 7 day period I gave myself was already gone by the time I got to this photo.

However, I really love the motif, and rather like the resulting photo, so this once I'll break my own rules.

View from my window

Woke up early, due to jet-lag and a beepily malfunctioning fire alarm, I look out the window and the sunlight is that gorgeous golden honey, lazily rolling over hills and valleys, glooping along at the slow speed of light. Of course, I do my best to capture the sight as I see it.

A Huron river portrait

Again, a mediocre colour picture is sublime in black and white.

Don't blink, she'll lunge

Another gorgeous costume — this one carried by Di — at the halloween party.

Watch the cards, not the shark

One of the most excellent costumes we saw at our Halloween party.

A riverside park bridge

Another study in patterns of light and shadow.

Halloween murder!

Crime scene Ypsilanti. The victim? Eviscerated. The perpetrator? Standing over his victim, still laughing maniacally.

It's a harsh harsh world for a pumpkin out there.

An inverted world

The view out my dear wife's bedroom window.

For this one, I was too late

You might not spot it, but this tree sports a pink ribbon. My original plan for this picture was to desaturate everything else, and call it “Barren, and concerned about cancer.” but it didn't work out — which might just be for the best.
