Nothing like a big assembly of assorted squash and gourds to get you into that fall mood.
I just barely got in under the wire this year....I took the pics on Oct 28...usually I try to get out there the first week of Oct. Anyhow, I'm glad I forced myself over there after a busy morning. To see the complete set of shots, click on the photo above.
I love the color the sky turns this time of year...I think some of the prettiest sunsets must be in the Autumn.
I'm posting this mostly to prove that nice photos can be taken from a moving car. Not a good idea if you are the one driving, however. I wasn't here, Ronnie was driving and I was shooting out of the drivers side window with my Canon Power Shot A560. See, a point and shoot! I set my ISO to it's lowest setting (80 I think) and turned off the flash and shot away. I had to crop out a bit of the frame from the window.
I heard the wind chimes clanging around outside and decided to investigate, it turned out ot be a nice little thunderstorm churning up the wind.
We haven't had decent rain in months, and I haven't touched my camera in weeks, so I thought I'd try to get some rain shots. I kept gravitating back to the wind chimes though. I love our wind chimes, we have four sets hanging in the carport. These are by far the largest set, they have a deep low tone. My favorite.
Goes well with the thunder.
I never knew that toads didn't like having their photos taken...until last night. Maybe it was just the flash that was spooking him, but he didn't want to sit still for anything. Fun stuff....we had rain, and got to chase a toad. What more could one ask for?
