We’ve already experienced 2 snowfalls here. One the day before Halloween. And I don’t live anywhere close to the Canadian border!With the amount of rain we've had recently, summer seems a long time ago and it's barely November!

Nice photo. Great smile. Let's see one with the glasses, it's ok to leave out the wrinkles.minus my glasses (which are a pain in photographs) and perhaps minus a few extra wrinkles.
I didn’t take any with my glasses. ? and as I only do these about once a year I’m out for a bit. ?Nice photo. Great smile. Let's see one with the glasses, it's ok to leave out the wrinkles.
Quite a few photographers on this site taking photos of flowers and/or historical site. If you are not aware of it there are three "reciprocal" programs where if you have membership in a place, such as the New York Botanical Gardens, as they are a member of AHS (American Horticultural Society) your membership entitles you to free general admission at over 300 other member organizations - with few restrictions, like special events and 90 mile restriction if not waived - like my photo today and the past few days at Bok Tower which I entered through my Leu Gardens membership (which was cheaper). While there are over 300 nationwide, locally (50 mile radius), I have 4 plus 2 others that enforce the 90 mile exclusion (I don't qualify but tourist with membership at their home do) and 38 statewide as I travel around the State. There are similar programs that focus on museums and natural history with over 1000 member organizations nationwide that rarely overlap with the Horticultural, but may between themselves so join a museum that recognizes both. They are NARM (North American Reciprocal Museum Association) and ROAM (Reciprocal Organization of Associated Museums). Each program has a website that list member sites as well as any restrictions/exclusions that may apply at a specific location.Taken at the New York Botanical Garden Chrysanthemum Show last week ...

Thanks for reminding folks of the reciprocal agreements between Botanical Gardens .

Todays POTD is the children's educational center (playground) which was a recent addition to Bok Tower. The wooded area to the rear has additional stations on various themes - music, book, chalk drawing, elastic spider web to climb on, etc plus a hammock for tired parents.

Nope
As long as you can produce such gorgeous pictures of it, no.
The beautiful smells coming from that picture made me hungry. Great shot ?An exercise in careful positioning of selective artificial light and use of controlled depth of field to produce an edgy composition with deep social comment on the nature of food. OK, a shot through a deli shop window. I liked it .
