Well. That took a bit of a turn. Last week I went for a November bike ride. Today…
Sigh.

Sunset after a bike ride
I can’t recall ever going for a bike ride in November before, but today I went 10 km after work, before the sun set.
I got home just in time to set my camera up on the deck, on the tripod, and snap 200+ frames for a quick timelapse of the sunset.
Rabbit, rabbit
I’ve only just today heard about the superstition that saying “Rabbit rabbit” on the first day of the month brings luck. How long were you planning to keep this from me?
Does it count if there’s a chubby bunny chillin’ in your yard for a few hours on the 1st?
Hollow Bean 2020
On this windy Halloween evening in this pandemic year, I handed out candy using tongs and wearing a mask. Our Halloweeners:
- a little wee lion
- a brown bear
- an angel
- what appeared to be an Ewok in a parka
- a gangster
- a goth
- a Stormtrooper
- a crocodile
- a vampire
- a nurse
- a little wee dinosaur who told me “Habby Ween!” over and over
- a zombie
- and a princess in pyjamas
…for a total of 13.
Weirdly, that’s four more than we had last year. I don’t know what that might mean.
Foggy morning
There was a bit of fog this morning.
Visibility was less than a block. 
And of course, fog + cold = hoarfrost. Not much, but a little bit.
Yeah but does it come in adult sizes?
And if not, why not?
A thin crescent moon

Sunrise this morning
Leaving the farm first thing this morning, we saw this.

Image processing: before and after
I took a couple pictures of the Milky Way tonight, as is my wont, and decided to present you with how it looked coming fresh out of my camera, and how it looks once I’ve cleaned it up. Enjoy!
Clouds
I made a timelapse video of the clouds while we were at the farm last weekend. It’s about an hour, with photos snapped every 10 seconds.
And since it turned out so well, I did another one yesterday, out my upstairs window. Longer this time—there are about 4½ hours of clouds in this one.
