Super Leaf - Missoula, Montana

Well, those of us snuggled under cloudy skies missed out on the luminous glory of last night's supermoon. So here's this red maple leaf from me, instead; I've been saving it for just such a sad scenario. You'll just have to tap into your inner Canadian (you know you want to have one, so dig deep!) - think gratefully polite thoughts and be happy with this.

If the elite inner-Canadian technique doesn't quite work for you, click here to bask in the grand glow of John Solvie's supermoon capture over the Las Vegas, Nevada, mountains, and here for more views from myriad clear-sky locations worldwide. 

Or you can just wait until 2034.

Hillside Carpet - Missoula, Montana

Temptation was strong to gleefully roll down this hillside carpeted with golden willow leaves. But I resisted - not because it would leave my office-appropriate clothes in an, er, interesting state, but rather because, ever since I was about 10 years old, that whole rolling-spinning thing makes me queasy. Sad, I know.
