Well, 'tis Halloween and the last day of October. I have to be honest, though October is typically one of my favorite months, this one left much to be desired. The weather was great and the fall colors were beautiful, but stress was at a high point at work. The students I teach haven't had a true break since early September, and they are in desperate need of one. It was just a long haul, and I'm glad I'll start Monday in November. Parent teacher conferences are this week, which is (strangely) a relief. It means only three days of regular class, which will give students some time away.... and the teachers time away from them. It's funny how everyone's face reads "FATIGUE" these days.
Anyway, as I mentioned, fall is out in full force. I tried to get outside as much as possible to take advantage of photography opportunities. Here are a few mixed Instagram and "nice camera" shots I took around Omaha:

| Not sure what these are, but they're interesting. |

West Maple after a rain storm I got caught in..... I got stuck on a trail with no real roof to stand under...it was special. I had to call my brother to come get me because the rain wouldn't stop.
