THINKING OF AUTUMN WHILE BUMPING INTO SPRING

FOTD - March 20 - Almost spring yet dreaming of Fall It could be because fall brings our best weather, but I think it's the colors that enchant me. The warm orange, red, pumpkin, and yellow. The wonderful color shifts as a green leaf turns scarlet, then gently slides into yellow. The colors of gourds … Continue reading THINKING OF AUTUMN WHILE BUMPING INTO SPRING

SKETCHBOOK 41 – BRIDGE OVER THE BLACKSTONE CANAL IN FALL

I wanted to try something a bit more ambitious, and I also really wanted to draw that bridge. It came out well enough, but I think I can do better. The problem is materials. Filling in all that water will use up a huge amount of color, so I need to "suggest" the river, but … Continue reading SKETCHBOOK 41 – BRIDGE OVER THE BLACKSTONE CANAL IN FALL

THE LAST PEAK DAY OF AUTUMN

The Last Peak Day of Autumn If it doesn't rain all day tomorrow, we might have a week of past-peak colors in the leaves, but peak is finished. It lasted two weeks this year and maybe another couple of slow, not full color weeks as we edge into November. These pictures were taken from the … Continue reading THE LAST PEAK DAY OF AUTUMN

THE COLORS OF AUTUMN

Nature Photo Challenge: Autumn colours We usually get color only after everyone else's leaves have fallen to the ground. I'm not sure what changed. Maybe it's because we took down half a dozen trees (they were already dead) so they wouldn't fall on the house? We let some light in, and maybe that changed more … Continue reading THE COLORS OF AUTUMN

THE CHANGING SEASONS – OCTOBER 2025

Autumn is over - Trees are bare All these pictures were taken by my granddaughter, Garry or Rich. It's good others have "eyes." I just haven't been able to do it. I don't know what next month will bring, but I'm glad to participate this fall. About The Changing Seasons The Changing Seasons is a … Continue reading THE CHANGING SEASONS – OCTOBER 2025

A TOUCH OF MAGICK

In this town, we have very little normal shopping. We do have a place I have avoided visiting. It is called "A Touch of Magick." Shops like that are as bad as bookstores were. I always have to buy something. Scented candles, strange little statues, runes, books about astrology and Tarot, and all things metaphysical … Continue reading A TOUCH OF MAGICK

AUTUMNAL GLORIES (ALMOST HALLOWEEN)

FOTD – October 29 – Autumnal glories I went out yesterday and took pictures even though I've got more than enough pictures already in waiting for my magic touch. I couldn't help myself. I was on the deck, the light was showing the glory of our woods, and I needed a camera.

MACROS WITH A SUPER-WIDE LENS

CMMC October Close Up or Macro I had been flirting with this Leica 9mm 4/3 lens for a while. I've never owned a super-wide lens except for a fisheye that I almost never used because I was never entirely sure what to do with it. This lens at 9mm (18mm per 35mm) isn't exactly a macro, … Continue reading MACROS WITH A SUPER-WIDE LENS
