Twice during the fall the township comes through our little development and vacuums up the leaves, if you put them out on the curb. I finished about 12:30 pm and they came by at 1:00 pm.

Harry, @northy says we're now linked up as push partners for this week. I noticed you had a night shot on Oct 20 and saw no meteors. No big deal, I've been lots of times and struck-out. So, for your challenge I've given you something along the same path but with a twist.
Your push challenge this week come with two options that take advantage of the night atmosphere which now starts early in the evening:
1) night time long exposure (>10 sec) of boats on the water with either the moon or stars in the sky; or
2) Star trails of any sequence (my preference)
@kerristephens Thank you Kerri, it is a time safer just to blow/rake them to the street @bkbinthecity Thank you Brian, and so much faster :) @michaelelliott Thank you Michael, and I have over a 100 trees so I am a happy camper :)
@mikegifford Thanks for the challenge Mike, since I am on the east coast I will be coming up with your challenge in the morning after I view your photos.
@sangwann Thank you Dione, or slow preparation on my part :) @denisedaly Thank you Denise, we got 10 years ago when the then mayor lived on the next block @vernabeth Thank you Beth, if it wasn't for the last minute, how would I get things done :)

Good luck and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with!
