Here's today's plan. I am sharing some photos, from last Sunday, of friends / neighbors who have an annual tradition of Halloween fun with extended family, mostly for the kids. However, as shown here, the adults are really into it as well. I had heard it was going to happen BUT I did not think I would be taking any photos. I just happened to be walking along a back road with some friends when the hay ride showed up, and I just happened to have my camera because it was such a beautiful fall day. As I have often said, a lot of what makes good photography is just being there!

| As we walked along, this truck, trailer and back-up vehicle appeared! |
 | |
| first view after they passed us -- my hurried, lucky shot.... |
 |
| on they go, not stopping for me or for anyone! |
 |
| Making friends laugh can sure make a better photo. I am not showing my first try of these three...and didn't take a third because I had what I wanted, and we had places to go... |
 |
| Others on the road also hoofing along.... |

| We saw the whole crew also on their return |
 | |
| so I FINALLY got to take a side shot, while they stopped -- briefly -- |
 |
| and another one. THANK YOU ALL. |
During November I want to focus more, in words, about being a photographer. I wrote an essay, with sections, about the photography work I did for the book Counting on the Woods, by George Ella Lyon, in 1997 (DK Ink). I will be posting that essay in short parts over the next few weeks along with some of the photos. The book is available through many library systems, if anyone is curious to locate it. Making that book was my training and my real beginning as a photographer, but mostly it was a privilege to work from George Ella's seventy-six words.
