I had dreams of an indian summer but it never quite materialized. When we turned the clocks back...well that was that. Here in northern Illinois the sun has been pretty scarce and it's dark by the time I get off work. So it's time to hibernate. The season has greeted us with a fairly phenomenal storm or two. The one in October making it plain that it's real flat around here and when there's a lot of rain...well, it floods. ![]() ![]() |

I rode out on a day a couple of weeks ago and managed to get some colorful pictures of foliage, as you can see. Joseph Albers, a color theorist and artist, often asked his students to do color studies based on what they found in nature at this time of the year. His book "The Interaction of Color" is a classic of color theory.![]() |

So...synonymous with fall is, of course,...fashion. And what more important article of fashion is there than the cleverly artistic, sculptural design of the footworthy shoe. Footworthy only in a fashion sense since most of the examples I found on a recent tour of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, revealed items that, while exhuberant and whimsical, looked painful to wear, sometimes excruciatingly so. | ||
