ISO 200, f/5.6, 1/200 (55-250 mm lens w/ tri-pod) On Tuesday, I traveled to Detroit for the day. I’m thankful that I didn’t have to spend the night in Detroit, but the trade-off was a lack of sleep (for whatever reason, I don’t sleep well before my husband or I fly even though once I’m on the plane…I fall right to sleep). Anyways, when I got home, my husband took me to get something to eat. By the time we came home, there was a full moon in the sky. It was so incredible that I couldn’t wait to come home.

The discussion of “signs” yesterday had me thinking about some of the recent signs I’ve seen that fall is coming. Sure there is a nice breeze in the air…the humidity has mostly faded away…and there is buzz of a Pumpkin Spice Latte at Starbucks (of course, I have checked out this speculation yet).

I’d taken two steps out the door when he said, “grab your camera.” So, I walked back inside to grab my camera. Of course, it’s incredible humid so I’m walking around the side of the house as my camera is getting acclimated when he pulls back a branch….and there it is, a snail. I immediately started snapping away…sweat pouring down my...
