Drifting



The weatherman mentioned this morning that we are 12.5 inches behind last winter in total snowfall, having almost none so far this winter. As long as we don't get it all at once like last February's blizzard, I'm okay with that.

The sign was being changed at the Downer Theatre, and the letters and numbers going up were laid out on the sidewalk.

Some of my favorite photos from last year were taken at Farmers Markets - the variety of colors, textures, and shapes made for some great opportunities. This large pile of radishes is a perfect example.

One of my resolutions for 2012 is to get back on the blogging horse and do a daily photo... a New Year's Eve setback may prevent that, but I'm going to try!

Today's photo was taken at Brewers Spring Training in Arizona this past March. Tickets for the 2012 Spring Training games go on sale this coming Monday, December 5th. It hasn't even snowed yet, and I'm already thinking about baseball...

It was a beautiful day for early November today, and I dragged the bike out of the garage for one more ride, but I hope it's not the last. The Hank Aaron Trail splits and travels along the north and south side of the Marquette University athletic fields in the Menomonee valley. This photo of the fence around the fields is taken from the north side, along the canal.

Nightscape



I wanted to get this posted last night, but the internet spirits weren't cooperating. We went downtown last night for dinner, and made a quick stop to take some photos for Halloween. I saw the lights of the buildings reflected in the river, and thought it was pretty neat.

Pumpkin Patch



The folks at St. Mark's Church on the East Side are having their annual Pumpkin sale, which runs for the month. Seeing all the pumpkins and squash out on the lawn in front of the church makes for a really great scene, especially in the dark.
