Hey, our 2022 Fall Ultimate Frisbee League has started. I took
some pictures during the first game. And Katie took some also.
And then I took some pictures of a real cool looking almost full
pumpkin orange moon!
The start of the first game of Fall League 2022. Because a a USAU Sectionals game was the next 2 days, a number of people weren't playing in that game (to avoid getting hurt or just tired before a club game) as well as the usual number of people who might miss a game in any given week. So we had one game with a 4:3 M:F ratio which was good. I think people had fun.

Thanks to Katie for taking the pictures in this section! I handed off my camera to Katie as I joined the game. She took a bunch of pictures with some good action shots (given that it was a somewhat low-key game. It was getting darker out and the lights were on. The camera is sensitive enough that it doesn't reall look dark at all until the end of this section.

I believe it was Kat that pointed out to the rest of us that the
almost full moon was rising and it was a creepy, deep orange color.
(The moon was full the following night.). I said I thought it looked
really cool and wistfully added, "it's too bad my camera isn't
here." When someone asked where it was, I said, "over there on the the
sideline, but who's got time for that now?" I was hoping that it would
be a quick point and the moon would still be low on the horizon and
orange, so I could take some pictures of it.
And it was, and it was, and I did!
Oh, and technically it's a Harvest Moon and wasn't quite blood
colored. But it was still sort of ominous and felt like it deserved
blood in the description.
