APAD(ish) #11: Nature

[nonelvis]

This "photo a day" thing is really eluding me this year, probably because October is a slow month for me in terms of leaving the house for meetings, and there are only so many things I can photograph around my house before I get bored. However, to make up for missing a couple of days, I have some extra photos.

This one's from the woods near one of the paths at Drumlin Farm, where my summer CSA share comes from. (I'd have taken a shot of the cute chipmunk I saw instead, but he was too far away.)



This is the cow pasture next to the share pickup spot. (The same one that housed this cow last year.) It was a gorgeous day, and as you can see, foliage season is definitely underway around here.



Not something at the farm: the detail of a brass mailbox in a building at the edge of MIT's campus.

I missed yesterday, but eh. I mostly do it in October because I like fall and take a million pictures when I'm in Wisconsin.

I especially like the mailbox one -- the colors are so pretty.

That mailbox is so shiny that it was damned hard getting an angle on it that didn't include me! Glad you liked the photo.

It's an old-style mailbox inset into the wall of an office building. I assume it's original to the building, which feels like it might have been built around the 1920s or so.

I love the idea of a little dial to show whether the mail's been picked up or not! I haven't seen that approach before.
