Most people take pictures of the trees and wide panoramic shoots of Autumn and all its splendor. Me? No, I get down on the ground and take a shot like this one of Autumns Rainbow.

Old Tech Still Rocks
I am re-posting some of my early post as a way to buy me sometime till I can get some fresh captures. Over the next several weeks I am going to stretch myself a bit photography wise as well, not just from the good eats that abound from here till Christmas……..
I shot the following pictures with a Nikon Coolpix 4600 I just bought off an online auction. Low tech compared to most cameras now but it still rocks none the less! Enjoy!
A Couple From A While Ago
It has not been a good couple of days for The Bride and I, so I have not had the time to get in any new shoots.With the weather about to turn nasty for a few a bit, it is time to hit the way-back files for something to post. I took the bottom photo several years back at a friend of The Brides and mine fortieth Birthday celebration. All the colors remind me of Autumn. The top is of our beloved Dainty Dot Queen of the World, may she rest in peace.
One Of Natures Short Timers
I was wrapping up the install of the CV axle on my ride and felt the Sun falling fast towards the tomorrow. I remembered a small group of Wood Asters I had spied returning from the vet with my second oldest cat Dainty Dot Queen of the World. The vet treated her for a kidney infection and we hope for a positive outcome but at 15 years old we will have to see. So I took a short break to capture them before the next frost or two gets them. It was enjoyable to just breath in and enjoy the day a little because like these flowers we never know what tomorrow holds. Besides with the universe as our backdrop we all are short timers so enjoy what you have and take a moment to be thankful for even the littlest of things.

A Bridge To Some Where Else
Slowing Down
Well I had a very productive and enjoyable three days. I still have tons to do on the kitchen remodel and need two new storm doors and a new side door. Yesterday I went up to Indiana and spent time with some of my family. I picked up some boxes of my folks to go through at their old house. After that I went to a viewing of the mother of one of my good friends. As I stood there talking to his wife I realized where the table was for the flowers was where my Pops body was less than a year ago. After the viewing I headed down to one of my favorite places, the shores of the mighty Ohio River in y old home town. Leaving there I headed home and started the process of deciding what to keep and what to get rid in those boxes from my folks old house. This morning I had a photo shoot down by the lake followed by removing the CV axle on our car, reinstalling the motors on our wood pellet stove and firing it up for the first time this Autumn, supper with some great friends and back home to hopefully slowing down and enjoy the last hours of my birthday.

My Downsized Recent Photo Project
The last several days have found me hastily finishing up a project for my work. I work in the fundraising arm of a Joint Commission-accredited nonprofit hospice organization. I volunteered to give some of my pictures/ photo-art as part of an auction at an upcoming fundraiser. I started out wanting to have the pieces made into metal photos and canvas photos but with The Bride getting laid off and her starting nursing school full-time, well I had to downsize my goals. I talked to the lady in charge of the event, my manager’s boss, and told her what I was up to: I would use frames, ink and photo-paper from our thrift shop, with my stuff, as a part of the auction. She was very supportive, and as always very positive, in my change of plans due to the changes in our life. Some times you just have to downsize your plans yet still give none the less. So here are the photos I used in this project.
