Watch out for that curve!
Friday just after sunset
Pumpkin on the bridge on Monday
Pumpkin after Steve carved it on Thanksgiving day
Blue blazes on aspens in the Roy Park Preserve Wednesday
Turkey on the trail (yeah, that one was staged)
Those are real turkeys!!! Speed limit sign is a little hard to see it’s behind the other road sign.
Edited to add: got my sunset photo!
OK, here goes - I had to get a little creative to ‘get’ them all…
(I know it’s not a holiday tree, but it is outdoors and also decorated…)
Sunrise was supposed to be at 0711hrs this morning, so here’s me bang on time with the Eastern sky behind me and a whole lot of grey clouds…
Couldn’t find a real one, so am instead taking the chance to plug the awesome Merlin app
(But why is the sign doggo sitting down?)
This was so much fun! Thanks so much Heather - can’t wait to start week 2…
And my o tower two
And whoever put all this signs up at the beginning of the recway trail had way way to much coffee. #overkill
loved your pumpkin Adam…
Thanks! This is already being so much fun. I’m jealous that @lizhartman got a picture of wild turkeys, but I laughed out loud at how @nkleinrock and @dianahackett worked around it. We have turkeys near here—Tristan saw them on his way over here this afternoon—but they’re hard to capture on virtual film.
It is fun to see everyone’s photos. Here are my photos 3-6 from this week. For my pumpkin photo, you have to look through my neighbor’s deer fence, to the right of center.
It was hard to find a decorated tree. This one is in the parking lot outside the Fall Creek Pilates Studio, where the tree has oversized fairy lights hanging from it.
Today’s sunset.
Nice combo photos, Sandy!!!
On my walk with my Dad this evening, I caught the end of the sunset. I was so surprised to see it, as I hadn’t seen it in over a week, that I almost forgot I needed it. Ran into my Dad’s neighbor’s backyard to get the tree! They decorated their backyard not the front. The trail marker was from a run down in Ithaca earlier this week.
The first two of these are from 2019 and the third is in our front yard this summer, when a turkey family wandered through day after day after day:
Hey pumpkins! Wear your bike helmets…
Sunset over ithaca college
Tiny weeny tree
Turkey flag. .long live the turkeys
Comin’ 'round the bend
Lost on the trail
Whew, coming in at the ninth hour I was finally able to snag a sunset pic! It was too cloudy the rest of the week!
Rules did not specify it had to be an outdoor holiday decorated tree - nicely done!
Wow! I am truly amazed at how creative and enthusiastic you all have been! Out of the 21 participants for week 1, 13 of you found all six items! You are listed below, but this week’s race director’s choice is @Francine_Arroyo for her find of still intact painted pumpkins.

The above participants, plus Francine, will have their names entered into the drawing at the end of the event. Your name can be entered more than once, so check out week 2’s items and keep posting!
If you have any questions, please feel free to DM me.
OK OK Shelly, stop rubbing it in, with your historic and scenic runs with foreign languages and kilometers per hour on the signs!
