Old Doors

The Bride, myself and two of our best friends, finally got the chance to go and enjoy my belated Birthday dinner today. We were originally going to go the big city but I choose instead to drive a couple of towns over and enjoy a slower pace. We ate in an old Tavern that was built in the late 1700’s. It was amazing and Very cool! The following pictures are from this little side trip in life. Enjoy!

The sun shifted on me while we were inside eating. None the less I follow my one and only rule: Take The Shot!

No Words

Autumn Chillin’

What better way is there to warm up a cold Autumn afternoon than taking a nap in the suns arms. Autumn chillin’ at its best.

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA — This is one of my life’s little surprises. Cute when they are asleep, no? Read about her arrival on my other blog by clicking the above highlighted words.

Dainty Cat Eyes

These beautiful eyes belong to our cat Dainty Dot. She is the Queen of her world and our’s more than not!

I took this photo with my Canon SX260 HS.

Not So Mellow Yellow

Last month, after the Hummingbirds had filed their southbound flight plans, the bees decided to take advantage of the last bit of sugary nectar in the feeder. I took this with my Olympus SP-350 and it was interesting getting these close-ups.

Layers Part II

The old Sycamore on our place is very old and losing limbs to storms at an alarming rate. This limb came from that tree and the layers in the limb I found to be quite beautiful. I was taken back that I found broken things beautiful but really we are at times broken if one is honest. I guess it not that surprising since I look at my mom and her failing health but yet I see the her beauty deep within. It reminded me that true beauty, which we all have, truly is from within.

Layers

I took this photo on our place with my Minolta DiMage S404. I was trying to get the soft light of dusk as it warmed things made by man and nature alike. I had the added bonus of a wayward grasshopper sticking its head in for a quick photo-op!

A B&W Plus Some Rusty Things

I took the following with my PowerShot G3. All the photos are things on our old barn. Hope you enjoy them!

Nailed this shot down with my G3 by playing with the exposure plus the white balance setting.

I love the textural feel of this shot. Old barn wood and a rusty nail are a great combo don’t you think.

A rusty hinge and dry wisps of not-so-long-ago-alive grass.

Untitled

Sorry about the post name but I could not come up with a name for this shot. It is a nail in the side of our old barn. I shot this with my Minolta DiMage S404 set on manual and on B&W. Enjoy!

Wood Asters Hanging Tough

These Small Wood Asters have survived multiple hard freezes and are still hanging in there. I shot this from about ten feet away using the zoom on my Pops Fuji Finepix S700. Enjoy!
