Sorry I haven't been around here much lately. I just haven't had many interesting things to talk about. I have been reading my flist, though.

One interesting thing that happened was that I signed up for something called Photograph Westfield, which is a project to photograph, you guessed it, Westfield for the archives at the library. I went to a meeting this week at the library, where I got instructions, release forms, and a spiffy name tag with a lanyard and everything. It should be fun. What I'd like to do is photograph houses, porches, and apartment buildings; my theme is "Where we live."

Today, I went down to the Colonial Harvest Day festival, also at the library. You can see my write-up of it here. I ran into one of the organizers of Photograph Westfield there, and we chatted about scouting out shots around town.

Other than that, I've had a pretty boring week. At least there have been some nice sunsets.

What a gorgeous day today. I had the windows open at the office all day, and pined away in my cubicle because I would so much rather have been outside, rambling around fields and woods.

I went for a long walk right after supper, heading down West Silver Street to look for morvenwestfield's grandparents' houses. Her grandfather's house is gone, but I found her grandmother's, on a street I'd never been down before. It's a nice little street, with woods and the river across from the house. I saw the above rainbow on the way there; a woman saw it too and ran into her house for her camera. We both took pictures of it. :)

There was a beautiful sky the whole walk home.

I walked down to CVS to get vitamins (on sale!) and passed the old Normal School (now Westfield State, now in another part of town). I love all the little decorative touches; they just don't build 'em like that anymore.

I had a rather long walk today, and even though it was still chilly, it felt good.

I did some wandering around town today, enjoying the beautiful October weather.

Since it was kind of cloudy, I decided to wait until tomorrow to walk down to the park. Instead, I walked down to the library, and discovered that I had just missed the Penguin Plunge being held across the street at the town square. For some reason, they couldn't hold it at the lake this year, and I'm not sure how they managed to, you know, plunge. Whatever. It's a fundraiser for the Children's Museum, so I hope it was a success.

When I came out of the library, wonder of wonders, the sun had come out! Yippee! So I wandered downtown, taking pictures of bridges and churches and stuff.
