Logan was in charge of handing out candy this year.

I saw this scene from atop an overpass but there isn't really a safe place to stop so I had to take it from ground level.  Trust me it looks cooler from above.

I like this one.  Sometimes you just have to grab the camera, set the ISO to 3200 and start shooting.  It CAN work out.

I've always been fascinated by this switch and telephone booth next to it.  I'll have to try again to get a shot with a train in it.

I ran the Lagomarcino's Coco Beano 5K today.  This was the fourth year for the race and I have ran all four which is really the only reason I ran at all.  I like having the streak and want it to continue.  I've lost a lot of conditioning since the half marathon and I continue to battle the plantar fasciitis.  On one hand I'm glad I'm able to continue running but I'm also worried that continuing to run will prolong my injury.  This is a photo of some of the walkers finishing up.

This was the mess I found in my driveway when I got home from work.  I'm not complaining though.  This butternut tree loses all of it's leaves at once.  I pick them up and it's done.  We have a sycamore tree in the front yard which loses leaves and branches year round.  There will still be leaves on it when the snow flies and it will drop leaves on top of the snow which makes my yard always look messy.  I will take this kind of one and done mess any time.

Autumn is not my favorite season but there is one great thing about this time of year.  Count Chocula is back on the shelves!

This guy was in our house.  I thought he was injured because he was just sitting there on the junk mail.  I started snapping pics and the next thing I knew he was flying around so I grabbed a rolled up newspaper and was able to whack him out the air on my second swing.  It might have been luck but I choose to believe that I still have good hand eye coordination.

Something about this clothes hamper caught my eye as it was lit by the TV.  We recently had a discussion at work about TV's in the bedroom.  Some are against it, I am not.  How about you?

Here's another "The Way Things Were" photo.  The fact that I paid $3.39 for gas is pretty boring today, but in ten years this will be an interesting photo.

My youngest brother lives in Iowa City.  Today the whole family met up out there and went to Wilson's Orchard.

Our friends Ronnie and Missy had a hay rack ride tonight.  I tried taking some photos but the iPhone flash is so bright in peoples eyes that it's nearly impossible to get one where people aren't squinting or blinking.  This one illustrates that point well.

There are three kinds of photos I like to take.  The first is just good "photography".  The second is family memories and the third which I don't get as much is a photo that can be kept to show "the way things were".  I think this one qualifies.  How long will redbox continue to be around with all the options for streaming video?  We still use it occasionally and tonight we watched "Guilt Trip".
