Ok folks, here's the rest of the stuff I have hanging at home. Check the alt text for size and medium info and canvas pricing. I'll consider all reasonable offers, especially if you can pick up. I'm looking for $75 for a framed 8"x10" print, $100 for a framed 11"x14" print.

Happy Halloween photo fans! 🥸🎃 I hope you're keeping it spooky out there! The weather has been on the warm side, I wore shorts to work earlier this week, but now they're predicting possible snow today 😱 I'm not ready for fall to be over, I'm still loving crunchy leaves, apple and pumpkin everything. That's much too quick of a pivot into winter, it takes time to re-acclimate to the cold in fall.
I tried to keep a spooky theme going with this week's photo from 2017 in Jay Cooke State Park. That turned out to be a tall order, I don't really have any scary photos. I chose this one because I felt that the light gives it an ethereal quality. The leaves in the center almost seem to glow, while the pine trees further back recede into gloomy darkness. Have a spooktacular Halloween!

Happy Thursday photo fans! Where has the month gone?! Morning temps have been deliciously crisp, but it's still feeling distinctly summery during the day. Is it just me, or do warm fall flavors just not quite hit the same at 70° as they do at 50°? The temps haven't quelled my thirst for all things pumpkin spice and apple cinnamon, maybe just toned them down a bit. They've had caramel apples at the grocery store for a couple of weeks, and thus far I've successfully resisted them.
I had to drive up north a ways yesterday for work, and the fall colors are definitely progressing though it's still pretty green in town. This week's photo comes from late September 2020, in Jay Cooke State Park. Shooting fall colors is rather frustrating, the leaves never quite look as bright and magical on paper (or screen) as they do in person. I don't know what kind of plant this is, but it's quite hardy, growing among the rocks at the edge of the St. Louis River. Somehow, it seems to encompass all the glorious fall colors in one small plant.
