October 2009 12 of 12 - Dull Day

Credit for the "12 of 12" goes to Chad Darnell. Thanks for doing this for everyone Chad and god luck with the upcoming marathon.

This months pics are rather drab and boring. I was busy all day in the office. I didn't have much time to get out and take a bunch of interesting photos and even when I did it was overcast. We haven't even had our first frost, so the colors really haven't arrived in force yet. Pretty much more of the same stuff you've seen in months past.

8:14 am - Philadelphia, PA

I've been up since 4:30 and working at my desk since 6:30. I needed a break and also to take some shots for the "12". This is about the only color on the front side of the course and even then the tree (an ash) had dropped half it's leaves.


8:18 am - Pro Shop

Camera shy. Even if I did get a good pic of her she wouldn't let me publish it. At least with her head turned and in a blur I won't feel obligated to get her permission to post.

9:03 am - 15th fairway

At least this maple has some color.

9:05 am - 11th green

This is one of my guys starting a backpack blower. Here again you can't see his face.

9:06 am - 14th hole

Here's a dog walking his master.

2:58 pm - 7th green

I took this on my way out. Did I mention that the photos were really boring this month... I mean even more than usual?

3:16 pm - Bala Cywyd, PA

Belmount Reservoir is just beyond the fence. ...I did say boring.

3:53 pm - Bala Cynwyd shopping plaza

I really need to join this place... the gym not the Rite Aid. I need to see if they have a part year program. I'll have time during the winter, but once the weather turns warm again I'll be working 80 a week again.

3:53 pm - Bala Cynwyd shopping plaza

...and here's one reason I need to get to the gym. Best burgers in town... at least that's what it says in all the testimonials plastered on their walls. I never go by what other people think. I was born in Missouri, the "show me state" and even though I spent less than a year there, I take evrything with a grain of salt. They are really good burgers though.

5:10 pm - Newton Square, PA

On the way back from shopping, I stopped to take a photo of the Philly skyline and I saw this old "woody" being towed down the street.

5:11 pm - Newton Square, PA

Here's a shot I got of the skyline and if you look the "woody" is in the shot too. I had to stand in the middle of a four lane road to get the shot and it isn't even a clear enough day to get a good photo.

5:14 pm - Newton Square, PA

Back in my truck I got a more complete view of the slyline through my dirty windshield. I told you it was a dull boring day. ...better shots next month I hope.
