An old Ford pickup truck lives out its days here in Old Moneta, surrounded by assorted rusting remains. I have no idea if the auto shop this sits outside is even open for business, but the area it's in is pretty much a ghost town these days.

Very close-up shot of Chester, our orange tabby. Shortly after this photo was taken (it was one of many attempts) he tired of having a lens shoved in his face and turned 180 degrees to tell me exactly what he thought of my photographic efforts! ;-)

Brody looks on from across the room as Chester and Lucy chow down on a treat of wet catfood. Brody likes catfood. Brody likes just about anything, really. Don't worry, he got his dogfood treat too :)

Soft focus, old-school style. Smeared Vaseline onto a skylight filter in a circular motion, heavier toward the edges and feathered to a clear spot in the center. Held it in position in front of the lens as I have no filter thread adapter on my camera, however this allowed me to move the clear section off center a little to suit the composition.

This is why I like to always have a camera with me. Sometimes, opportunity just presents itself. In this case, it was one of the many rabbits which live in and around our home. It was in the front yard just as I pulled in. Surprisingly it wasn't spooked at all by my car pulling up, and I was able to shoot out through the passenger-side window to get this shot, handheld at maximum zoom with image stabilization enabled.

Outside it's fall, with turning leaves and pumpkins and crisp cool air. Past the autumn wreath on the door you see inside through decorative glass, to the warmth which beckons you in.
