Of all the four days of the long Thanksgiving Weekend, only today was halfway-decent and not either totally snowing or raining. So we went over to Busse Woods. I guess the recent cold snap had them scrambling to make sure no one would have any ice-related mishaps on the lake. It'll freeze over soon enough.
The title link will take you to the latest photo gallery.
No photo on this one - just wanted to bookmark this Chinese site that has an
adaptation of the Blogger template I use here. They use this image as a secondary header background. Very cool.
Remind me later to see what I can do about the annoying glitch (probably IE peekaboo bug) that puts a line in the middle of the second line of text on my sidebar titles.
Oh, and I got there because of my trusty Bloglines feed search on my favorite show.
Jeez. If you're going to refer to a specific photo in a post, it's a matter of simple courtesy to actually include the image and a link to the gallery where it resides. Doofus.
Anyway, here's a little glimpse into my personal workplace hell. Halloween is one of the few things that makes it bearable. ;)
Heh. Psyche. I brought in the new Rebel and took pictures on Halloween to see how it behaved indoors, with flash, photographing people. I have a lot to learn, but I did get a kick out of spotting subjects and taking a quick photo (in this case, a very small and gun-shy Incredible Hulk). The adults are mostly people on my team, but Dorothy and the inimitable Mary Poppins are sales reps who stopped by with treats.
The tacky tourist is my team leader. We all think she needs to get out more. ;)
Most years our office goes all out for Halloween extravaganzas, with singing, dancing, scripts, jazz hands, the works. Not this year, though. So I sort of dressed up as a "Harry Potter" type witch in haphazard Muggle mufti, because I have a long black velvet duster and other odds and ends of crafty looking clothes.
I'm not usually one for noticing children, but took pictures of the ones that came by. I did enjoy trying to capture the elusive Hulk on camera - with my old camera this would have been totally blurred and useless. In other words, what we call an "action shot." I put the pictures on a photo gallery that I'll use for work-related photos so people could see how they looked.
I'd have to say that "Leatherface" had a truly scary outfit - if he'd gone out after dark he would have freaked a few people out.
I still plan to use this blog mostly for highlighting photos I've taken (haven't been out with the new Canon EOS Digital Rebel recently, but I did take a few Halloween photos). However, as I also have this Blogger account as a convenience so that I can comment on other Blogger sites, there will now be the occasional bonus rumination, free of charge.
