Halloween is the catalyst. It starts the ball rolling. We stuff ourselves on (stashed away!) Trick or Treat candy and it’s all downhill from there. Thanksgiving, endless holiday get-togethers, baked goods and cookies at work, ‘just this once’ excuses to gorge. And then of course The Big Day itself. Next up is New Year’s Eve, a celebratory extravaganza of still more to chow down on.

And then the guilt – and pounds – really start to settle in…

But for now – Enjoy! And Happy Halloween to my wonderful blogging friends everywhere. 🙂

On our Door County vacation earlier this month, husband and I played with a little night photography. Bill worked with a tripod while I made use of the new monopod I purchased in September.

Using the dock railing as additional support, I was able to capture a few shots. I like the placement of lights both along the dock and reflected on the water in the distance. The flowers are a little muddy but I was pleased with how that silver, rectangular ‘thingy’ turned out. Does anyone know what that is?

We had fun experimenting snapping pics after dark and while I have very little experience with night photography, it’s definitely on my To Play list in the future!
