<p>Hello Nikon people, and a good Wednesday to all. Is it just me, or has the proliferation of pumpkin-flavored food, coffee, and beer reached nearly epidemic new heights? Where are all of those pumpkins coming from? Perhaps they're actually an infinitely scalable mathematical construct, instead of a gourd. Like these Mandelbrot Pumpkins. <br>

<br />Surely you've shot something seasonally savory? Share!</p><div></div>

<p>A September full moon over the Portland Head Lighthouse.</p><div></div>

<p>Seasonally savory - not sure this qualifies - chili pepper ristras at the local Farmer's Market. <br /> Taken with the first Nikon lens I purchased (in 1979) - 105/2.5 Ai - and the only one I kept throughout the years.</p><div></div>

<p>The Window Washer at La Arcada in Santa Barbara.<br /> Image taken with the 28/2.8 AiS - a lens I acquired in 2002 and wish I had gotten much earlier.</p><div></div>

<p>Just been rejigging my computer and came across this Summer night shot...</p><div></div>

<p>and an Autumn capture from my compact:</p><div></div>

<p>Matt - Mandelbrot - or Fibonacci?<br>

First the wide view.</p><div></div>

<p>Then the detail.</p><div></div>

<p>Cleaned out the lampshade dishes on saturday and found some interesting volunteers for a photo shoot. </p>

<p>One daisy left in the flower bed. Very early morning. Attempting to capture a shot with an AI lens. I kind of liked how the flower came out pure white and yellow while the surrounding foliage is almost blacked out.</p><div></div>

<p>Fall woodland shot</p><div></div>

<p>Heard this the other day:</p>

<p>Q: What does the "B" stand for in "Benoît B. Mandelbrot"?</p>

<p>A: "Benoît B. Mandelbrot"</p>

<p>Daphne in her playhouse, ordering supplies maybe.</p><div></div>

<p>This past weekend the wife and I went to Arkansas for a photo op. weekend. This is a beautiful State and we didn't have enough time. </p><div></div>

<p>The things people do.</p><div></div>

<p>Last one</p><div></div>

<p>Yes, I know, another fall leaf shot, yawn...who hasn't done one of those?? Well, me, till last week. Remember I'm a beginner so I was excited to try to combine a few things here...</p><div></div>

<p>Water fun at Great Wolf Lodge WI</p><div></div>

<p>Here are mine for the week. Nikon D800 + Voigtlander 58mm. Enjoy.</p><div></div>
