Hi Everyone

Wenderina and I will be visiting our Niece and her family in the DC area for a few days. I'll be off-line mostly and will start with new posts next week.

Stay well!

Spring?

In the midst of the fall and the unstoppable approach of winter... I decided to look ahead (or is it back) to the dogwood flowers of spring. There is a lot of beauty to enjoy in the coming winter and I will photograph a lot of it.... but today I was thinking of the dogwoods in my yard in spring...

Carriage House - Skylands Botanical Garden - Ringwood, NJ

I have always liked this carriage house at Skylands, but it has never looked better than when it was surrounded by fall colors yesterday. I half expected to see the fairytale characters emerge from it's doors. Just looking at it makes me want to sit by a fire with a nice cup of tea.

Keep Makin' Art.

More Sunday Morning Photos

Here are some more images from this morning. I am almost done editing. coming up next during the week. an image from the Skylands... I shot at two locations this morning and perhaps a poem with one of this morning's images. I have some ideas and need to get them on paper before they disappear like the memory of a dream. No promises on the poem... I am no writer and don't claim to be but the beauty of the morning planted some ideas I want to try to jot down.

What did you work on this weekend? I came away with 10 or 15 really strong images from several locations I am thrilled beyond measure.

Keep Makin' Art!

Sunday Morning Nature Photos

I fought the urge to sleep in this morning when my 6am alarm went off. I am glad I did. All the rain from the last two night had Pine Meadow Brook running stronger than usual for this time of year. There were still bunches of trees that had clung to their leaves in the wind and rain of the last few days that made for awesome reflections. Here are the first two images while I work on editing the rest. Enjoy your Sunday!

A Rainy Saturday Morning

Hello Fellow Artists -

You may have sensed from my last couple of posts with recycled fall shots from last year that I was on the verge of writing off shooting today because of the weather.... You were right. It was only at the last second this morning that I threw my camera bag and tripod into the car on my way out to a meeting. Wenderina will attest to how much I dislike being out in the rain. I don't like being cold and wet.... She says I scrunch my face all up and look miserable... Guilty as charged I guess, but when I woke this morning and realized we were at peak of the fall season and the gray skies and wet leaves only made the color richer I just could not help myself. I am glad I went out. I was able to get these wonderful wet and foggy shots in Salisbury Mills (isn't that a great name?) NY.

The weather tomorrow is supposed to be clear so I will head out again to see what I can capture before all the leaves are off the trees in preparation for the snows to come. Which will bring their own wonderful photo opportunities.

Frost on Leaf

Another favorite image from last year as this weekend looks to be cold and rainy. I may not get out to shoot. If it turns out I can't shoot. I'll head to the studio and start some painting projects. Watercolor has been on a back burner too long anyway.

Autumn Reflection

This shot was taken last fall in Harriman State Park. I hope I still have time to get out and get a few more fall shots this year! I am running out of time.

Greeblepix - Photo Contest October

After Months of Wenderina telling me about the monthly photo contest on Greeblemonkey site I decided to enter this month's contest with a photo of Coit Tower and North Beach in San Francisco reflected in the transom windows of the Trans America tower. I really enjoyed the geometric shapes as well as the play of old and new.
