A cold and rainy week here in the Northeast. Over the past few days,  a couple nor’Easters came through with snow as close as the western edges of Bucks County. There was a serious frost this morning and it sure seems as if winter may just be creeping it’s way in here.  I guess it is just about that time of year. It sure is nice to have the Philadelphia Phillies in the Championship again. Remains to be seen if they’ll be in the World Series again or not… Hope so. We had an early snow during the Series last year and the power was out for nine hours or there­abouts during the rain — snow out. The trees couldn’t take the snow with their leaves still on. The Bradford Pear trees suffered lots of damage.

Been working on a bunch of design projects with Victoria lately and haven’t been around to blog much. Well actually I have but the time spent at the computer was for other people. Met a nice printer up in Lansdale, PA named Dave this past Friday afternoon. He gave me a tour of his facility and Vic and I did some estimating work. I didn’t get home till about 8:00 PM Friday night. That gave Sue a chance to rest before I got home. We went out and got Mums last weekend and on Sunday we went to Tanners Farm Store and shopped. I had a nice oppor­tunity to photo­graph their herd of steers.

So — I’ve got a lot of new photos of Fall scenes with Pumpkins, gourds and flowers at the Farm and Garden Station and the Cattle at Tanners to put up in galleries. Sue had some fun looking at a large beast eye to eye as he snorted. He had an inter­esting presence.  I’ll be back soon with more stuff. On October 22^nd I snuck in here and resized President Lincoln.

Have to figure out how to upload some of my new NextGEN Galleries…

I found some software yesterday and downloaded it for a spin. Nothing too fancy but actually quite pleasant to use. That’s right. I just created this theme for WP myself. It was very inter­esting going through all of the various framework. To make a long story short — I’m a designer and Art Director — not a php kind of guy.

So — locating this was a good thing for me. It was adver­tised on AlexKing​.org in a little banner in the article about the people at Crowd Favorite updating all of the Carrington themes. That was really amazing to read that. I have plenty of graphics — both illus­tration and photog­raphy as well as Graphic Design. Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way.

“Now I can get this stuff to work together instead of trying to get every­thing to fit the hard way. I shot the moon with my Olympus on a tripod with a telephoto lens and a variety of different timings.”

This is all working a lot smoother than I’d imagined that it would’ve. That’s good. I had a techni­cally oriented family member once tell me that I’d never be able to edit any PHP code. Well that’s fine with me. I’d much rather just work on my pictures. Speaking of pictures — The sky tonight at maybe 9:00 or 9:30 PM was lit up contin­ually by lightning.  No really close crashes but some nice bass sub-woofer action — Wow. Sue was working on a project for work and I was afraid that perhaps the lights might blink out during the storm but instead all kept going fine. I’ll keep working on my theme.

Thanks for reading -
