Mid-October Lunchtime Walk, Part II
Hillsboro is back to October weather: instead of yesterday’s blue skies and 73°, today is overcast and might reach 62°. In other words, it’s beautiful!
After all, “There’s no such thing as bad weather; just bad clothes.”1Thanks, @MaryRarick!
So, like yesterday, I grabbed my camera and set out on a walk. I had hoped the soft light would yield better pictures than yesterday’s, but my cheap point and shoot camera didn’t know which leaf to keep in focus.2Or maybe, it’s the operator. Nah… ;-) Oh well. The colors are gorgeous.3A little vector magic and the focus doesn’t matter. ;-) Click the picture for colorful goodness.
How is your October?

Mid-October Lunchtime Walk
Shortly after noon, I looked up from my desk to see a balmy1Upper 60’s. Not a cloud in the sky. mid-October day inviting me to a lunchtime walk. Who was I to decline?
Grabbing my camera, I headed out for a clockwise 1.5 mile walk around Hawthorn Farm. I snapped pictures of fall leaves in between kicking and stomping the acorns scattered about.
Halfway around, I spied a great blue heron stalking. I paused to take a picture and saw it strike, coming up with a small creature in its bill. A mouse?
A one o’clock meeting placed a hard stop on my trek, so I hurried the remainder of the circuit.
Another beautiful day!2Aren’t they all? :-) :-)

Another Good Friday
It’s Friday! The weather is gorgeous. Here are a few of the shots I took on the ride to work.1Yes, taking pictures slows down the commute. For that matter, so does stopping at Starbucks. At least taking pictures keeps me from showing up to work all sweaty.
I hope you have a wonderful day.
This is day 8 on the bike this year.

All Moved In
My three boxes,1There’s another six boxes of archival tools sitting in storage for me to review, catalog, photograph, and recycle. monitor, and stands were delivered last Friday.2At first, to the wrong cube, but that’s another story…
Yes, that’s my favorite site in the browser. Aren’t you glad I’m finally moved in so I can go back to taking (and publishing) pictures of the sky? ;-) I went in this morning to get everything in its place so I could hit the ground running Monday morning.All my cables, cords, and locks are in place. Just a couple of zip ties will make it tidy.
Update. I just bought a cube-warming gift for myself: a Spathiphyllum plant. I think I’ll put it on the Intel 2400-baud modem on the back shelf.

Transitional View
My view this morning, before I head into the phone booth to run my stakeholder meeting.
This is my first attempt creating a stitched panorama with my cheap camera and Hugin. Clearly, I need to try again1Or just get a smartphone that can do this stuff natively or go through the extensive tutorials on Hugin. later — when I have more time…
