Photo365 Fall '13: Gold, Purple, and Blue

Labor Day Weekend...not quite fall, no longer summer. Shots of my parents' backyard as dusk approaches. This is one of my favorite places in the world.

One Sunday afternoon in October, we went to Crown Hill Cemetary

This is the gravesite of the children's poet, James Whitcomb Riley

Here's a view of Indianapolis from the highest point in Indianapolis

Gravesite of JWR

School kids come and leave pennies, flowers, and wreaths. Thank you, Indiana! Thank you JWR!

Gothic chapel

I'm always saddened to see gravestones like these. I wonder who this little girl was.

I love this tree at Intech Park. I always loved my twice daily walks on the trails. I'd give myself pep talks to make it through the afternoon.

I love Holliday Park! Here is White River in September

This is my favorite picture. It looks like an eye.

Coney Island Beer!

Don't you love the early fall purples and yellows?

See why I loved working at Intech Park? No one in my office ever walked here. They don't know about life.

Milkweed opening its seed for fall plantings

My begonias in October. I had pansies through the snow!

I planted trees this summer. I named this one for Jascha, and look, he bloomed before the snow came. I can't wait for spring when he'll beckon hummingbirds. Jascha Tree.

There were hardly any sunny days in October. We spent this one at McCormick's Creek State Park

Spaghetti squash buck shot. Thank you, Indiana!

This tree is....

Raccoon Lake on a sunny Monday

We ventured out into Amish country on dirt roads and found this old covered bridge. I got out to take a picture. Larry locked the car doors. ????

We went to Mounds State Park. Indian burial ground.

I made comfort food for a cold day. Pan fried chicken, mac and cheese, green beans

We went to Turkey Run on a rainy day.

I love Turkey Run!

Beehive honey

Indiana Sundown

I had some dreams there were clouds in my creek

Sunsets over an empty baseball field

Crescent Moon

Flat12 Bierworks. One day we did a little urban adventure to breweries and antique shops.

Throne made out of a shopping cart.

Thank goodness this diner is Sanitary.

Midland Arts and Antiques

Last Roses of 2013. Brilliant Pink.

Cataract Fall State Park

Someone wrote a pukey poem on a state landmark, and someone else told them, "This Blows." Someone Else knows best.

We have a fun hobby. Pack cooler. Jump in car. See where land. Drink beer.

Beavers

Snow came early this year

My "roomie" was the keyboardist for Wicked

We had orchestra seats!

My roomie sang "Once in Love with Amy" in my parlor for my guests

Thanksgiving Eve with Grace and Lauren playing Pictionary

Grace tells us about the violin bow, made of horse hair

This was the first time my dad has ever played a game with us. I had to take a picture.

Lauren is the dog whisperer

I love bringing out their artistic side

Lauren loves Primo

Lauren and I did our nails

I had a perfect day. I worked on my book all day and all night, then got take-out Chinese. I grew up in small town, and we didn't have take-out Chinese. I'd see these boxes on TV and think, "I'm going to get take out Chinese someday!" And I did!
