ABC Wednesday Letter "R"

Tuesday, November 20, 2007


"R" is for the Route we are taking today. We are on our way From Granite Bay Ca. to Camas Washington to celebrate Thanksgiving with Family. The ride will take about 10 hours and the car will be filled with many songs, laughs and maybe some naps. (the passengers of course) I will probably not be posting anything till we get back. Wishing all a happy Thanksgiving.

Flying South


lately we have had a pretty steady stream of geese flying over our house to their Southern Wintertime home. You can hear them coming long before you can see them.

Fall has Fallen

As you can see in this picture most of the colorful leafs have fallen from the trees, but even in a half naked tree their is beauty.

Fall in the water

Thursday, November 15, 2007


I noticed this lone leaf floting in the water with the reflection of the wispy clouds overhead. I thought to myself this might make for an interseting shot. I was pretty happy with the outcome. This shot was not photoshoped other than just one small shot of brightness.

ABC Wednesday Letter "Q"

Tuesday, November 13, 2007


"Q" is for Quarters from all 50 states. Since 1999 the US Mint has produced a different quarter every ten weeks. Over the last 10 years they have produced 45 different coins and only have 5 more to go. It is always fun to look at your change and see if you got a new quarter.

Gallop


We have a large open field behind our house with 5 horses that use the field to graze. I caught this one galloping back to the barn for dinner.

God's artwork

Friday, November 9, 2007


Some times you just need to slow down and and look at the amazing detail God has created in our world. I guess that is why I love macro shots so much. My backyard has been a butterfly bonanza the past few weeks. At times I would have 10-15 of them fluttering around at once. Amazing!

Fall Beauty

I love all the changes fall brings. So many colors and contrasts.

ABC Wednesday letter "P"

Wednesday, November 7, 2007




"P" is for pepper and pomegranate. I thought these peppers were so interesting. I found them during a walk through a garden during our Apple Hill trip. I never realized that they grew pointing up.

The pomegranate was picked from my parents back yard. I just loved the detail in top and thought it looked like a crown.
