Winter is definitely in the air. Tonight was the first night we needed to fire up the old gas insert.

Some days you just have to be the last guy out the day at work. However, these last several weeks I’ve been working on a really fun project so I really can’t object.

I’m just a sucker for these early morning lake pictures. At dawn, the shoreline is covered with Great Blue Herons catching their breakfast.

I’m going to have to play a massive bit of catchup here. I’ve been taking the pictures but I haven’t been good about posting, so expect to see a couple of pictures a day posted until I get caught up.

For most of this year, looking out over Lake Hefner was a bit sad with long spits of dry red earth sticking out into the lake. However, we’ve been geting some great rains for the last couple of weeks and when combined with some water releases from another lake, and the view is definitely improving. Here are some older pics for reference:

Admittedly this is pure bike porn, but I couldn’t pass up another pretty dawn ride picture. My morning commute remains my hands-down favorite part of my day.

Today we had a big open house to celebrate and officially announce our new company headquarters. Of course, what is a fancy party without some fancy food on sticks!
