I don't know what I looked like but he was shocked obviously.
Je ne sais pas quelle tête j'avais mais je l'ai visiblement bien effrayé
Time
Pink Floyd
Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
Fritter and waste the hours in an off-hand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way
Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death
I just thought it was really awesome the way the tree trunks were in shadow, with the bright street signs behind :-D So I worked the DoF with that and got the trees sharp and the signs fuzzy :-)

There is still some great autumn foliage in the Lakes Region. Taken yesterday at Bolduc Farm, in Gilford, NH.
In your mind's eye, can you imagine a family planting this tree decades ago beside their little new farm house out on the vast prairielands of western Illinois? Together, this tree and house have withstood the ravages of untold bitter winters and sweltering summers. Now abandoned, the house is going the way of all the Earth. Long after it has finally collapsed, however, the tree will stand as a living memorial to the struggles, joys, and love that once was here.
The people and horses have disappeared from this scene. In their place are some cattle penned up in the yard. They stand beside the decaying farmhouse, which is visible from Highway 136 near Chili, Illinois. On some visits there, I've seen cattle almost on the front porch.

Update March 2019: On a trip back from Quincy to Macomb, Illinois, I was dismayed to find that this old house had been torn down. Alas... it was such a great spot for photography!
