Yesterday, I photographed a colleague’s two children at a local park. Then, we went with some friends to Washington Farms (where we picked strawberries in the spring) to participate in fall activities, including a corn maze. It was a good day.
Are you ready to experience part of our fun day? Here we go!

Mushrooms bigger than your head. O.k., not really. They’re your average mushrooms, photographed last Sunday in our back yard.
I took this shot hand-held last Monday morning while waiting for a traffic light to change.
Remember the “Monet” I showed a few weeks ago? These are the same tree branches, but in good weather.

This week I took part in Robert’s “Show Me… Project.” Karen mentioned it in her Weekly Winners post last Sunday, and I’m so glad she did. I had a GREAT time!
A few of these shots are from the project, but many aren’t. So come along. :)

Pond at a nearby park.
I followed a heron all around the park. This series includes a takeoff and landing. It was the first time I’d really tried to photograph a bird in flight. There are things I’ll do different next time to ensure the bird is more in focus (ahem), but I’m pretty pleased for [...]

I took these photos while I was out and about…
We had a lot of rain because of remnants of Hurricane Fay. When I was sitting in my car at lunch on Monday, I noticed the rain on the windows looked a bit like some of Claude Monet’s paintings. (A hat tip to my husband who, [...]

This was another rather laid-back photo week. We went to Stone Mountain last Sunday (yes, again), which is where I took most of these photos.
I’m just loving this first photo. If you think it’s similar to the one below it, you’re right. I cropped this photo from the original of the second photo. (Clear as [...]

Yesterday I attended a seminar given by nature photographer Larry Winslett. He’s taken photographs at Stone Mountain for more than 30 years (among lots of other places). Basically, he answered our general questions and then we walked and talked and photographed along the Nature Garden Trail at Stone Mountain.
I learned a LOT, and we’ll definitely [...]

A year ago today, we got our new camera. In the last 12 months, we’ve taken just over 40,000 photos. Ed says he’s taken only 1,000 or so. He says I don’t ever let him use the camera. True enough. I have learned a LOT about photography and can’t wait to keep learning. Coincidentally, tomorrow’s [...]

I didn’t do much photo taking this week: about 300 all told. Close to 100 of them were of Ed making no bake chocolate peanut butter cookies Friday night. I REALLY wanted those cookies. They’re yummy, too.
Alas, none of those photos made the Weekly Winners cut. A few from a dog party yesterday did.
