Happy November! It’s amazing how quickly this year has gone. The weather is starting to dip below freezing and the fall colors are at their brightest blaze.
Of course, I managed to take these pictures in an evergreen grove where there is no fall color to be found. In my defense, I had no idea that Minute Man park would be so busy at noon on a Friday, and I had quite a bit of trouble finding a place to park my tripod to get pictures.
I’m also a bit out of practice with the tripod selfie (especially with my new 85mm lens… I think the next tripod outing will need to be done with a shorter lens) and so I had some trouble getting myself properly in the frame. It’s okay though, there will be more opportunities for this outfit to be photographed. I was really pleased with this combination, but I forgot to bring my gloves along and my new hat (which I am SO happy with!) will need some repair work in the near future. So I have every intention of wearing and photographing it again when I have all the pieces in place.
A follow-up note on my review of these shoes… after wearing them a few times and having trouble with the heel strap siding off, I punched an extra hole in the strap. That was apparently all the fix I needed, as the straps stay put perfectly now and it’s a lot more comfortable to wear and walk in these shoes with that adjustment! Now I think the only downside is that slingbacks are terrible for stealth… it’s almost impossible to tiptoe quietly around in them.
