Best of the 365 Blog – November 2016

November was quite a month. The election and its aftermath distracted from routines such as the 365 project. But I still managed to keep up.

On the first day of the month I hauled out a macro lens and took some pictures of ladybugs. Oddly they aren’t as cute when you get this close to them.

Last month I blogged a photo of one of the college’s new “Learning Commons” signs. Thus I figured I should include an image of the sign in place.

On Election Day I paused for a moment after voting to photograph the polling place. I thought it might turn out to be a historic occasion. Unfortunately I was right.

Time to recycle! I liked the combination of the bottle chaos in the foreground and the fall foliage framed by the window on the other side of the bin.

On the 13th I got a shot at a lunar event. The moon was unusually close to the earth. I didn’t have much luck with surface details, but at least the leaves created an interesting effect.

This is one of my favorite photos of the year. I love the color patterns on the leaf, a small bit of beauty of the sort we all too often walk right past on the sidewalk without ever noticing it.

Or sometimes it’s something interesting that you notice because you’re stuck in a drive-thru with nothing better to do than take random photos.

Of course the leaves look pretty when they’re still on the tree, too.
