These floats are used for lobster trapping. They are quite colorful. This was taken very near the water in Bar Harbor, Maine. Image processed with GIMP.

The "back yard" of the food zone of the local Fair. Normally, you are looking at the front of the food truck/trailer/kiosk, checking the prices, decided on your purchase. This is the back, where all of the preparation and setup goes on. Not nearly as gaudy and bright. At night, you probably don't see the back at all, just the bright lights. (In case you are intrigued, "shave ice" is a Hawaiian invention. The "snocone" is more well known: a scoop of crushed ice with flavored sirup on top. The variant from the Islands has taken over the US. The smaller bottles you see on the tables contain the sirups.) Image processed with GIMP.

Taken as we reached the summit of the Cumbres and Toltec Railroad. The line runs between Chama, New Mexico, and Antonito, Colorado. The summit is near 10,000 feet. The aspens (and others) were displaying remarkable colors. Some of the blur is the motion of the train, some of the blur is bokeh. For the Sunday Challenge, this is a nice way to enjoy the change of seasons. Winter will be along soon enough. At least the conifers in the background will stay green throughout the seasons.
