Several of you commented last week that in addition to the black and white photographs I curated for a photo competition, that it would be interesting to see what I did with color.  Since these images will be for a calendar competition, I thought it would be good to organize them here by month.

As must be the case when publishers choose and assemble images for calendars, some photographs may be "representational" of a season, rather than the reality.

The autumnal equinox is this Wednesday, 22 September, in the northern hemisphere.  I hope you relish the changing seasons wherever you are in the world.  Thanks to Christina, TTT, Barbara, Char, Wayne, Steve, and Jean and Sam for your thoughts this week.

until next Monday,
