The weather outside is frightful......

Last weekend I had the opportunity to go out and take photos with some good friends. I enjoy these times more than people know! I get to spend time with people that share at least one thing in common with me and I can clear my mind and let my creative juices flow. These days are truly relaxing.
Last sunday was more than relaxing or getting away with friends, it was the first time this year that the magic hit me! You know, the moment that you are first filled with Christmas spirit. Yes that's it, you have been there too. Well my moment came while we were walking through a driving downfall of snow and right after a budy took a huge snowball to his lens LOL. After I finished laughing about his misfortune with the evil snowball throwing tree, I turned and saw my last glimpse of fall color dancing with the newly fallen snow.
Hope you enjoy my magical moment!

Slowing Down

I have been driving by this same spot for weeks now watching the leaves change colors and planning on stopping for some good photos. Sad thing is I kept putting it off and my time was running out as each leaf turned and fell to the earth. Just the other day I wanted to stop with a friend and take a few shots but had to turn around, the area had been blocked off for the deer hunters.

Tonight right after work I hauled butt straight out to the lake to get a few quick shots before the sun went down. I drove by here twice while I was chasing deer and trying to get a photo of the "big one".

As the sun was setting and I was heading towards home something kept telling me to turn around and go back. When I arrived I knew I would have to choose my shots carefully as I would be using my favorite $5 lens with very little time to spare.

This is what I got, hope you like it!

Here goes.........

After reading many other blogs, I felt that it was now time for me to give back to the world. This is completely new to me and will be a bit of an adjustment. So bare with me and delve into my mind (very dangerous, I know).

Ok, so this one wasn't taken w/mflenses....... LOL, you try to catch a hawk flying with them!
