Today I went out without any specific focus, in fact I was trying to avoid any preconceived notions of what I would shoot.

It’s a day in autumn so color would be part of it.

Not a day to be hung up on any particular theme except autumn.

That’s enough of the puns, visual and otherwise.

I wondered around a patch of milkweed;  they are coming along.

I used to be in R&D at AT&T and then at Lucent Technologies.  In other words, the telephone business.  When I first saw these teasels with the spider web connecting them, it seemed to represent a communications network.  I guess that isn’t a pun but a metaphor.

Teasels are easier to work with than some people.  Not as communicative though.
