The Edge

The Weekend's Nearly Over...

...but I'm still cherishing these last few hours. I had a lovely weekend, celebrating my anniversary and my birthday. Saturday was stormy, I spent a lot of time drawing plans for our dream bathroom on Google Sketchup (the things I do for fun), and we snuck out between rainstorms to plant our garlic. Today after church we treated ourselves to an artery-clogging brunch at a local restaurant, spent the afternoon planting flower bulbs, and took a walk in the woods just before sunset so I could photograph during the "magic hour" when the light is best. I have trouble shooting during Fall. It is my favorite season and means so much to me - I've yet to take an image that really captures autumn magic in a true way, at least not to my own satisfaction. And photography is about truth - not necessarily reality - but truth.

At any rate, I checked off another day on my 365 Days in Colour list... one more week of brown!

It's been a Whirlwind Week

October Foliage

My Favorite Time of Year

I love October - the smell and crunch and color of the leaves, the crispness in the air, soups and sweaters, apples...

Flowing Leaves

Photo Assignment #10

Alrighty, now that work on carousel photos has slowed down a little I have had time to work on more assignment photos! The two featured tonight are suggestions from sethsgal05. I'm glad that the weather was cooperative this weekend and that I had her challenges as an excuse to go frolic around outside!

First up - "leaves or rocks in a stream". I really like the light in this one.



And next, "a hiking path covered with leaves". Interesting textures in this one, I thought.



As always, I hope you enjoy these. Hope everyone is doing well during their holiday preparations!
