I love having seasons


This time of year is my favorite. Or at least it will be until I post a beautiful photo of snow falling and pronounce that time of year to be my favorite.  They're all my favorites. 

Now that I've received my new-to-me-again 18-105mm lens, hopefully there will be another beautiful day of fall left to photograph before the leaves all fall off and give way to snow.

Marian Call in Ardmore, PA


We had the opportunity to go see Marian Call this past weekend.  I missed her when she was in Minneapolis this summer, but was going to be in Philadelphia the weekend that she performed in Ardmore.  Happy coincidence!  If you ever get the chance, Milkboy is a great venue.  Very cozy, good acoustics, and pretty coffee (I didn't taste any, but it sure looked good).  We got there early enough to nab some of the comfy chairs next to the stage.  

I saw Marian once before and she was phenomenal. JoCo Cruise Crazy 2 was the first time that I'd heard any of her music, and I became a die-hard fan in an instant.  She brings such an intense, organic energy to her music that it's nigh impossible to resist being drawn in.  Her albums are fantastic, but don't even begin to do her justice.  If you have the opportunity to see her perform live, I highly encourage you to do so. I mean, a concert with a typewriter?  How can you say no?! 

So that was awesome.
