Formed in 2009, the Archive Team (not to be confused with the archive.org Archive-It Team) is a rogue archivist collective dedicated to saving copies of rapidly dying or deleted websites for the sake of history and digital heritage. The group is 100% composed of volunteers and interested parties, and has expanded into a large amount of related projects for saving online and digital history.

October
Photos taken on my walk around the garden this morning. The poem is an old one.
October Rose
Will she hang on to Christmas or is her
blooming over? Once lush and luxuriant,
now she's just your late October rose, a
gift quite rare but all the more special in
your garden. Savour her, scarlet, salmon
or crimson, (not red-hot or blowsy), too
old for blushing yet still fine enough to
pick. Still beauteous of colour and still
romantic with scent enough to sate your
senses, thus inspiring a crush, or a
rush of love..... But her petals fall so quickly
now. Too soon she will be gone to seed or
banished, quickly dried or cast away.
