About time, Mike, 'coz misery loves company.
Do you bring your Koi into a basement pool, or leave 'em out?
Jogging in shorts?
Beware the frozen road rash... :brilsmurf:

LOL, right! Um the Koi stay in the pond, we have mostly goldfish now too int he pond about 50 of them, they live through everything. The pond is hip deep at deepest point so it is pretty easy to hide. Amazing how fast the season changed from a nice warm fall to winter in two days!! Only 3 months til spring! WooHoo!

W loves the front yard banana wrap.
You really had pleasant Fall weather, despite that October snow.
Maybe a photo of you jogging in the shorts next time it snows? 😆

I'm trying to learn photography, so forgive some obvious questions:
1) tripod or hand-held?
2) how long an exposure?
