When I first framed the scene in my viewfinder, I was drawn to the golden color of the setting sun on the brick building. Then I saw the light reflected off the glass of the building which cast its own walkway of light along the pavers. Amazing what you don't see at first. I guess everything is worth a second glance.
Part of my "12 on November 12" collection - the guys at work mentioned the presence of graffiti on some of the railcars, and during my lunchtime "walk around the plant because it is too nice to be cooped up in an office", I witnessed their art first hand.
Some leaves still remain on rushes and wildflowers by the pond.
A little closer than my typical "drive by shots" of the cornfield. These stalks are less than a 0.25 mile from the house.
So ready to be sucked in by that combine:
I read that this has been a very late harvest, with work that will continue into mid December!
From my neighbor's yard:
I apologize for yesterday's misleading post about running, taking pictures, etc. I actually don't run with my camera (unless it is my daughter's little P&S or my iPhone). If I spot something interesting, I will go back later (usually in a car!) with my camera. It's a hit or miss process - many times the light changes and what I "saw" in my head is no longer present.

My neighbor's tree with the lovely red berries caught my eye yesterday during my Saturday run (I notice all sorts of things to photograph while running - it helps to pass the miles). I shot most of them with the same settings (70mm, aperture priority - F2.8, ISO200), then played around with the various captures to get three different results.
Basically SOOC, just cropped from horizontal to vertical:
Applied a vignette, then lightened with a Levels adjustment. The lighting is so different from the first picture - the blue sky casts a coolness over the scene.
This one gets a vintage treatment with a hue / saturation layer. This isn't quite my "normal style", so it was fun to create.
Which one do you like?
The remote shutter release I ordered last week finally arrived, and my son had fun taking pictures using it.
I didn't even get a chance to use it - he hogged that remote for 30 minutes to take pictures of the kitchen chair. 
What is it with males and remote controls? [no need to answer - purely rhetorical]
Oh, for those interested, I bought the remote from ebay seller, DelightDigi, product is Wireless Remote R6F for Nikon D200 D300 D700 D3 D2x D1x. Far less expensive than Nikon's ML-3, and works great.
