On the way home today...

As I came to the intersection of Routes 1 and 202, three men were standing out along the side with homemade signs. Two are clearly visible. I do not believe that I have ever seen folks standing there before! I report - you decide!

Autumn Colors

I took Kyle, Rhia and Iain to school this morning and came home on a back road. There was no traffic so I had time to take a few photos with my iphone. Even though it was cloudy and overcast, I think that you can see how beautiful the colors are this time of year.

Frost on the mum ...

Here is a photo I took yesterday as I experimented with my new camera and caught frost on a mum plant for sale.

A thought about the photos on my blog ...

If you click on a photo, that photo will be enlarged. I am most pleased with the quality of photos from my new camera. I only upgraded a bit but I am pleased.

More autumn colors ...

It was a cold frosty morning - first real frost of the season ...



But the autumn colors were quite beautiful.




I was having a lot of fun playing with my new camera.




Someone said that there was a shortage of pumpkins this year but I saw plenty!




The blue sky was the perfect backdrop for the colored leaves.




There is something about a white steeple surrounded by the fall colored leaves ...

Trying my new camera - Part 2

With experimentation - some are good and some are not. I took over 50 photos and learned a great deal. When I use the telephoto lens, I MUST STEADY the camera against a still object!



This was taken from the deck...




then I went to the front yard to photograph a few of the trees in the front of the house.




I tried to get a close-up of the leaves... I am not at all happy with the results and will need to work on this.




Then I noticed the spectacular lighting on the woods and ran to the deck again to get a couple of shots.

Playing with my new camera part 1

I got a new camera last week and tonight I went outside after it stopped raining (which it has done all week) to try out the new camera and see what it could do.




The above photo is a close-up of purple basil in flower in the pot on my deck.




Then I tried to catch a bit of the setting sun through the trees.




As I looked across the fields, I saw the hay bales.




And ... trees with leaves turning...
