Okay, so here’s the explanation… and a great show in the Lillstreet Gallery Annex by my friend & metalsmith Kelly Novak. Her pieces are incredibly stark, sharp and surprisingly perfect for my week on the B&W Photo Challenge! Lots of metal, black leather and incredible shadows on the walls. And that’s why today I challenge her!!! “INTERVALS” by Kelly Novak through the end of the year.

After a couple days of clouds, it was great to see the sun again this morning. Just a couple clouds for the color to play with… but lots of color splashing across the horizon!

Meanwhile, a smidge to the left… a bit to the north….

Is it just me… but shouldn’t these leaves be dead and on the ground by now?! Granted I love the bright colors of my red burning bush, but it seems a little late in the season for this blaze of color??? Everything else is frozen but this one is still going strong!!!

And not all Thanksgiving desserts need to be pie, right?!
Crazy I know... but one of my culinary contributions today was a creamy homemade
vanilla cheesecake with plenty of gooey hot fudge to pour over the top.

And I’m just guessing now but… Breakfast of Champions tomorrow!!!
