Two Weeks in Winter ~ Day 13

2012-01-03T16:46:00.000-08:00

This was taken through the windshield while driving to visit family the day after Christmas. You can see the glare of the window in the lower right corner. The sky was just so beautiful that day and we were going 55 mph...so I had no choice but to take it though the window. You can see how green the grass was still. This latest cold snap has put an end to that!

Favorite Autumn photo ~ Day 14

2011-10-06T00:56:00.000-07:00

This is my favorite Fall photo from last year. I love that I captured the man fishing from his small boat and the splash in the water from a fish. The reflections of the beautiful colors in the water makes this an awesome shot! (in my opinion) It was drizzling n very cloudy on that day, the lighting was perfect!

First Signs ~ Day 1

2011-09-23T05:40:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the first day of Autumn/Fall everyone. To get into the swing of the season I am participating in a fun meme hosted by one of my longtime blogging buddies Faye
Here is the Challenge......
September 23rd is the beginning of autumn so, to celebrate this most gorgeous time of the year, I thought it would be fun to host the Two Weeks in Autumn Photo Challenge. Look around you as you go about your daily lives the next two weeks and see if you can capture the magic of autumn with your camera.
Check back here daily to see my photo of the day's subject and get your topic for the following day. Let me know in the comments if you're participating so I can visit you and steer other readers to your site.

It just so happens I was out on a photo shoot last week and I captured one of the very first signs...this is something you don't even have to see to know it's there.

The Goldenrod is out in full force....to all you "Hay fever sufferers"...beware!!!

It sure is pretty though......ACHOOOOOO!!!!!!!
