November Transition

We may soon get back to a normal November. The blue sky has been beautiful and believe me I'm not complaining. This pond reflection at Richardson Nature Center reminds me of the impending change of seasons. 

Prairie Color

I'm teaching a fall color class tomorrow in a park without woodland color. Instead the prairie will be the star of the show. This brings home the difference between a hobby and a job. The hobbyist, which is me most of the time, could change location to find maple color. Tomorrow I do not have this luxury. Permits were obtained months ago, students are signed up, and liability issues prevent us from jumping in a van to search for color. I almost forgot, I am supposed to photograph the students having fun photographing the color. What a difference between working and playing!
