October 18th thru October 24th, 2010

Fall is winding down yet there are almost two months until winter officially begins. The Blue Screen of Death hit my computer last weekend. I have been a PC guy since, I guess, around 1983 when I picked up a Compact Computer for work using Lotus 123 for spreadsheets. I bought an IMAC 27" to replace my dead Toshiba and have been dealing with the transition all this week. Finally got out for a walk in Emery Park this morning. Not a particularly nice day other than the relatively mild temperatures for late October, however the park was peaceful, colorful and smelled of autumn. This scene caught my attention due to the open floor of the forest blanketed with leaves, however when looking closer the old dead tree in the center of the image appeared to have been the home for numerous woodpeckers. Then in the background faintly visible is the profile of a house on the edge of the park. There was way more to this scene than what originally caught my attention. The Bills lost again today. 0-6 for the season. Oh well, next year. All you folks in Portland OR, be on the look out. I plan to be there weekend after next, for five days, visiting my daughter, son in law and grandchildren. If you Portlanders see a strange guy walking around with a Canon 50D on a tripod, say hi, it's only me.

Beautiful color, Don. It does seem to end much too quickly.
