Roll Me Away

Well, since it IS Halloween I thought we needed to see a few more pumpkins.

Linus: [to Sally as she walks away with everyone else] Hey, aren't you going to wait and greet the Great Pumpkin? Huh? It won't be long now. If the Great Pumpkin comes, I'll still put in a good word for you!
[realizes what he just said]
Linus: Good grief! I said "if"! I meant, "when" he comes!
[calmly]
Linus: I'm doomed. One little slip like that could cause the Great Pumpkin to pass you by.
[calling out]
Linus: Oh, Great Pumpkin, where are you?

The Golden Floor

Okay, so I know it's been a month since I've posted.  A lot has gone on this past month.  Anyway, here's a Photoshop piece for autumn.  I've always liked to capture the leaves after they've fallen, floating next to the curb.  

Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.

Ooh, You're Gold

Took this photo of the windmill when we stopped at Andersen's Split Pea on the way to Petaluma.  

I find little in the works of Beethoven, Berlioz, Wagner and others when they are led by a conductor who functions like a windmill.

Turning Tables

Sometimes I get lucky and happen upon simple beauty.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?

Drive

Here's a collection of some of the photos I've taken of antique cars.  

Have you ever noticed that anybody driving slower than you is an idiot, and anyone going faster than you is a maniac?

Lovesong of the Buzzard.

It's still possible to discover old buildings in the country.

I was so naive as a kid I used to sneak behind the barn and do nothing.

About Face

I absolutely LOVE this face.
