I'll keep my eyes open and my camera handy. Actually, with the exception of simply going to work, I pretty much take the camera every place I go now - just in case.

Brilliant Fall colours, Jeff. I'm hoping to capture some tomorrow and Saturday.

Great pics, Crown! Unfortunately, my city shops haven't much to snap yet.

However, you can always count on HallMark for some delightful early offerings.

I asked permission to take the pics after a purchase and the employees didn't mind. A customer was asking the saleslady why I was taking pictures and I heard her say, "for her husband I think - most men are visual learners". HaHa. I forgot to tell my husband that. I had actually told the other saleslady that I belong to a merry community of year round Christmas lovers and we're all keeping and eye out for Christmas items and displays to share.

It's not as breathtaking and haul out the holly as Crown's pics, but still I had a great time snapping them.
