The new Pʜᴏᴛᴏɢʀᴀᴘʜʏ ENGAGERS Cɪʀᴄʟᴇ is here!   [Oct 31, 2013]
Happy Halloween!!

Public:  Just add this circle and enjoy the photos in your stream!

Participants: Do you qualify? >>http://goo.gl/pRqyxR 
Create a "PEC Circle", add this new edition, view that stream and interact with the posts.  The more you engage members, the more engagement you'll get back!  It works like a community, but with much more focused results. (photo pun!)

Quick start instructions:
➊  Post a URL link to a recent G+ photo in the comments below 
Click photo links from others and +1 and comment, or share 
➌  Publicly share this circle-post, from a new friend's stream
➍  Add this circle  (replace it every week) and view the stream regularly.  The attention you give will come back to you many-fold!
➎  +1 this post to say thanks to the curator and promote all the people in the circle!!

The only required action is that you share a photo from your stream last week in the comments below.  All other engagement here has other benefits, and is your option!

The optional Photo of the Week Contest that complements this photo share is here >>http://goo.gl/nL6Go4

Participation here qualifies you to enter the contest.  Last week's winner was +Heather Buckley , see her photo here >>http://goo.gl/W6wC3c.

The Biggest Ripple Award goes to  >>> +Alex Berg <<<  with a chain of 14 shares – tied for the record!  Thanks to all those that helped: +Krzysztof Felczak, +Patrick Willemain, +Giselle Savoie, +Michel Fabre, +Peter Grew, +Heiko Köster, +Robin Cohen, +Berit Schurse, +Dominique Bonnet, +Stefan Seidel, +Richard Lee, and +Robby Ball !!

Average Ripple length for the whole circle = 3.3!  Super!! 

See the Winners Photo Album >>http://goo.gl/prDTcA for Contest history!

A shout-out to our "influential friends": +Alan Shapiro, +Ron Clifford, +Wick Sakit, and +Rodney Pike  : )
Thank you for sharing!

Ramone's Chocolate Decadence Torte

————————————————————–
Perhaps one of the most amazingly yummy chocolate raspberry tortes I've ever tasted… in honor of my father-in-law's 80th birthday… brought from Ramone's Bakery in Eureka, CA. http://ramonesbakery.com/
   
Sorry, +Kalebra Kelby, I simply was incapable of saving any for you…

Dusk on Howell Mountain

—————————————————
Howell Mountain Road winds it's way from St Helena in the Napa Valley up the hill about 1500 ft above the valley floor…to the little community of Angwin, where I make my home.
…and yes, we do have a lovely castle nearby… it's worth a visit if you're in the neighborhood…. +Castello di Amorosa 
…a quick snap on the way home from a Safeway run 😉

+Annette Biggers & +Karen Hutton, are you up for storming the castle?
