HaHa! I think you'll have to stand on line. I don't bake a lot of different desserts but my fruit crisps are local favorites.

Today was one of those generally stupid days with a very stupid meeting at the end of the day. So, since my brain was not functioning and my creative streak was on hold, so I decided to take a couple of photos of the more obvious objects right in front of me.

Although it was a rather cloudy, gloomy day today, I was able to get a few photos.
The birds at the bird feeder were really busy this afternoon, and the tree had at least 8 or 10 birds in it at any one time. Here are a couple of them:
Out On a Limb
Just Grumpy
Brrrr...
Just Looking
Sometimes texture can be interesting...

Definitely, and the the parcel of land these people bought catches everyone's runoff because it is at the low spot between two hills. Our lawn is awful in the spring, but that parcel is a veritable swamp in the spring.
That's what we've been saying as we watch the progress. Even other people in the neighborhood are wondering why anyone would have bought that parcel. There is a reason no one has ever wanted it.

I took advantage of a really beautiful late fall day today. While I was traversing around, I came across a few interesting (at least I thought so ) photos.
The first thing I noticed was this tractor junkyard. It was huge. I never saw so many derelict tractors in one spot before. Truly impressive. I really wish I had brought my 18-55mm lens with me but I didn't think I'd need it.
Where Old Tractors Go To Die
I then noticed some cows on the side of the hill. It's not as if we don't have cows around here. This is upstate New York we are talking about. Yes, it's rural, and no, I cannot see the Empire State Building from my house. I'd have to travel about 200 miles due east for that view.
Newark Valley Cemetery
What You Lookin' At?
I noticed that there was one Holstein cow among the herd of brown cows.
How Now Holstein Cow...

When I got home, I noticed that we had some new visitors to the bird feeder: downy woodpeckers! I did see two of them at once. They were more interested in the bugs and grubs under the tree bark than the sunflower seeds in the feeder. It seems like we are getting quite a variety of fall/winter birds this year. Yay!
The downy woodpecker visitors:
Dig, Dig, Dig
Got It!
Looking for Munchies
Perseverance is a Virtue
I have noticed that nuthatches seems to have major attitude. They also don't like to share, unless it's another of their nuthatch brethren.
Just Wait Your Turn, Buster!

Sometimes my mind sees things in odd ways...
I looked out the kitchen window this evening and noticed this last vestige of warm weather rather stuck on the window. The underside of a moth is rather weird looking, that's for sure.
The Underbelly of the Beast
This potato chip was taken using available light. I did a minimum of post processing (i.e.: just a little cropping). Actually, it's not as dark yellow as the photograph depicts. I liked it better this way rather than the flash version, or adjusting the color balance.

Rain and a long, dark driveway have kept all the trick or treaters from coming to our door. Oh, well. Okay, now to today's photo. I have had this little, handmade house for many years and decided that it would be a perfect object to photograph on Hallowe'en.

I saw this ladybug crawling around on the living room window a little while ago. Actually, we have a couple of them in the house right now. They have been on the windows or flying around the light over the dining room table. One of our cats is always looking at the ceiling, thinking she sees something. At least now, she actually is.

This was taken using my D7000, AF 105 f/2.8 Micro-Nikkor, iso=400, f/8, on-camera flash. I really do love this lens.
