Unplanned Hiatus

Hey, everyone! I was recently involved in a hit and run accident with a bus. (The driver has been found; note that driving a bus means your bus is clearly labeled and you are easy to find, so driving away after an accident is more than a little crazy, aside from being immoral.) Though I was physically uninjured, I am overwhelmed and need to take a break from several things. I expect to be silent here for about a week. I have some lunches photographed that aren't quite ready for you, and I honestly don't know what my lunches will look like over the next week or so. One lunch I had recently consisted of a snack pack of hummus and pretzels with ginger ale and corn nuts for dessert from the 7-Eleven near my work. I'm not exactly batting a thousand here.

Today I have no lunch to show, but fall is really beautiful, so I'll show you some pretty things in this post. (I've been practicing my non-food photography for a while and I have no clear outlet for these things anyway.)

First, a sugar maple leaf, changing color:

And a smoketree leaf with a red stem among fallen needles of a pine tree:

Some stuff still blooms this time of year, like these clematis blossoms:

And this toad lily:

While other things are getting berries now, like this vibernum:

And conifers are starting to bud, like this cedar of Lebanon tree:

And this cypress tree:

What does fall look like where you are?
