I like this approach. The timeline. The play by play commentary. It shows how many photographers work. Letting our attention wander and remaining open to the ever changing possibilities of the moment. Preconceptions just get in the way. Better not to have them. Great choice for the Artdrop. I really like that shot of the field of goldenrod under the bridge too. And the two tone brown rivets at the base of the bridge. Probably a good close up shot there. While those look like ladders from afar, I don't see how they can be. The rungs are too far apart. Must be some sort of structural element.

Thank you John. You are right of course, they're not actual ladders but they are very ladderish.

Ladderish the word has just come into existence :)

Yes, some days I feel a little ladderish, characterized by the rungs feeling just a bit too far apart. Looks like the first snow is coming tomorrow morning. About 8" (20 cm).

We got surprised by 5 inches this afternoon that weren't even in the forecast! Good thing I bought snow shovels last week.

More than anything I just wanted to hold the hot chocolate to warm my hands!

Ha, glad you enjoyed it Davin! Writing by voice memo was a new one for me, but surprisingly effective.
