This tree really stood out against the stone of this old church....
Mt. Salem United Methodist Church
Wilmington, De
Head and shoulders above the rest made this one the center of attraction. Fall flowers at their best.
There's a lot of geraniums around the gardens, and I was struck by the way the yellow-orange leaves stood out against the background of their greener kin.

It's Ryder Cup time again. This was taken during a practice round at the 2012 Cup at Medina Country Club in northern Illinois, near Chicago.
The standout foliage on this oak tree won't last much longer.
Two days later: prediction fulfilled; sadly, almost all the leaves had fallen from the tree.
This is the new Electro minifigure that was released at the Kids' Fest in Virginia a few months back, and though I had some reservations about it, I decided to jump in and get one to go with my upcoming Arachnid Hero fig (at least until my own Electro is released). While a lot of my reservations were valid when I received him, there were many surprises as well. Here's my overall thoughts:
Positives
The torso (front and back) designs along with the leg printing are the standout features of this fig. The intricate details of the ASM2 movie suit are well designed, with the collar sporting a nice silver color and details and the lines from the suit included. I really liked the design and print on the leg, as I had struggled myself designing the leg, and the gray color matches the torso color well. I also like the back design overall, with the continuation of the lines from the front and the nice silver collar on the top.
What surprised me on this fig, though, was the very fine silver circles on the inside portion of the eye, which are barely visible. It gives the eyes a "glowing" look to them, which is cool (but sometimes hard to see). I also thought the little silver "plugs" or whatever they're called look quite good to.
Things I didn't Like
First and foremost, the "acne" looking dots on the head (front and back) really are the key dissappointment here and almost ruin the overall look and design. The idea and look LEGO was attempting is to be applauded, but it didn't come out on the finished end very well.
Along with that, I think the dark gray torso here is just as misplaced as the dark gray color of the TDK Batman released with the Bat vs. Tumbler set. The real Electro suit is black with hints of purplish blue, there's no hints at gray anywhere on the suit. So, that is problematic for me. It still looks pretty good, but I just don't agree with the choice, myself.
The last thing that bugs me is a little thing, design wise, the back muscle lines - particularly the ones at the bottom middle. I've never seen anyones' back muscles curve that way towards the bottom, and they look a bit weird. It's nitpicky, but that part really bugs me. Luckily I mostly look at the front when he's on the shelf. ;)
Overall
I think this figure is still a good buy, as the torso design and look of the fig are very close to the ASM2 character. I will be replacing the head later when I print my own, but for now, it works.
This stunning Floribunda is a standout in the landscape with an array of colors and very healthy foliage. Garden Delight’s multicolored and high-centered buds will open to fully double, cupped blooms. The delightful, yellow center is surrounded by stunning pink to red edges, and the more sunlight it receives the more intensely pink it gets. Her coloring will vary according to climate and she thrives best in zones 5-9.
A Kordes rose, bred by Tim Hermann (Germany, 2001). ... Introduced in Germany by W. Kordes, "Garden Delight" is well-named! This bed is one of the most colourful in the Stanley Park Rose Garden.
Boasting more features than the recent deliveries to London operator, Metroline, this TfL-spec Enviro400EV demonstrator was sure to turn some heads at this year's CBUK event - held at Birmingham's NEC.
One of the more standout features on this vehicle includes LCD passenger information displays - on both the interior and exterior of the vehicle - supplied by Navaho Technologies; aiming to enhance upon current technology on TfL's buses.
Another pressing feature is the addition of ADL & 21st Century Technology's 'SmartVision CMS' (camera monitoring system) pack; in place of conventional wing mirrors.

This lovely blue Robin's egg stood out against the pine needled floor of my yard. There were at least two pair of Robins nesting nearby my house. (It kind of reminded me of PacMan!😂 Remember?)
A standout variety that produces brilliant pink, perfectly formed blooms, over dark glossy green, healthy foliage; well suited for landscaping, for containers, or a low flowering hedge
I forgot I had a couple packs of chalk laying around. Remembered this morning when I saw today's challenge.

Fall foliage scene near the manor house "Westbrook," at the Bayard Cutting Arboretum State Park on Long Island in New York, as shot by my beautiful wife. She was drawn by that one brilliantly colored tree. This is an awesome area to explore in any season. You can visit this great arboretum and park at www.nysparks.com/parks/95/details.aspx.

Taken in Muir Woods in Marin County, CA
I guess this tree figured it had to do something to get people to take a picture of it.
If you haven't yet been to Muir Woods, it's worth it - just try to go on a weekday. My only option was Saturday morning and the entire world was there - truly, I must have heard a dozen different languages - but all the same it was kind of nice to be around people, on such a solo trip. I went in search of two The Shots, but kept an open mind and this turned out to be one of my favorite photos from the morning.
I see my path, but I don't know where it leads. Not knowing where I'm going is what inspires me to travel it.
Both Sylvia and I spotted Jess’ standout hair from the other side of the street and after a brief introduction on our intent, we were all walking down a side street looking for a suitable background.
The sun was out and with no shade in sight we made good use of the scrim to provide just the right amount of shade. Sylvia was brilliant standing on the tips of her toes and stretching right out holding the scrim in place over Jess’ head, doing her best not get in the frame.
Jess was an absolute natural in front of the camera, taking directions with ease and looking fabulous and relaxed no matter what angle I shot her from. To say that I was captivated by her natural beauty and poise is an understatement.
Believe it or not Jess had just stepped off a plane from Cape Town, South Africa only a few hours earlier to visit and work with her brother. She had the most intriguing accent and at the end of the shoot we chatted about how we thought she should look into doing some modelling work.
This shot is my favourite from the dozen or so I shot and think that it really shows her style. On a technical note, I have played around a little with the overall softness of this image, pulling down the details and moving away from the tack sharp portraits that I normally post. Personally, I think it suits Jess’ look. I have posted the sharper, less processed version for you to compare. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts… positive or negative… I can handle it!
Thanks Jess for being part of the project and I hope you enjoy your say in OZ.
