Good morning, America!
(And points further north. Ahem.)
What a surprise I received in my inbox yesterday! The talented, witty, and oh-so-fabulous VUBOQ sent me an October photo from our nation's capitol. (That's Washington, DC, fyi.) And he generously gave me permission to post it here!
Look.

Oh, my! The blue sky. The Orange!! And some sort of Washington monument in the background.
Maybe next year, I'll get some more submissions. Yes! I'll send you all out on a quest (the classic struggle of Beauty vs. Drabness) to capture October moments from wherever you are.
What fun!
Thank you, VUBOQ! For the photo and for the inspiration!
