The second half of October + bare legs = Yes, it was a stupidly long summer.
Red and Black Butterfly on Orange Flower--Monday, 10/16/17
Outfit cost per wear (OCPW): $6.29
Red, black, orange, green, and white can make for a kind of chaotic color scheme, but I like how it was implemented here. (I tried a lot of times to get a picture of this type of butterfly, and this was the only one that wasn't mostly a blur.)

Torch Ginger in Climatron--Tuesday, 10/17/17
OCPW: $9.91
This hot house flower is definitely of the "go big or go home" variety.

A Sandy River Ray--Wednesday, 10/18/17
OCPW: $22.04
Fish tend to be quite mobile, which make them difficult to photograph. But I caught this ray (which is a cartilaginous fish) as he was coming up from the surface, rippling the front of his body in that cool ray manner.
Eclipsed Eclipse Black Duck and Possibly a Female Pintail--Friday, 10/20/17
*Purple heathered knit skirt (JCP), $17.99
OCPW: $25.52
This photo name confused me (why did I duplicate the word "eclipse"?) for a moment until I saw it larger on the screen--the black duck is both in eclipse plumage AND is being eclipsed in the photo by the other duck. Visual pun for the win.

In other news....Time for another check-in with women in technology, and I somehow have a backlog of articles from last May that I never shared. So here are a couple articles on historic rejection letters to women engineers and the recruitment/retention dilemma.

It’s been almost one hundred years since the rejection letters were dated. Much has been accomplished for equality for women in the workplace, but that women have not achieved full equality in this amount of time is mind boggling.
Indeed.
