TGIFall Friday!




Happy Fall Friday everyone!  Just thought I'd pop in here and say HI and hope everyone has a great weekend.  We are having sunny, blue skies and temps in the low 70's today and all weekend...I'm taking advantage of every moment too.  Walks with the dogs & hubs, taking photographs in the woods and our annual trip to the Pumpkin Patch and wine tasting tour.  I'm not a winter girl so I take every advantage of the nicer weather before the cold hits us...then I hibernate like a bear lol!

Thought I'd share a few pics I took the other day from my walks in the woods after it had rained.  Still working on learning my camera and all its functions and getting the right lighting and mood framed in my photos.  One thing about photography is how much it relaxes me...almost like meditating...perfect for those days when I'm feeling a little burnt out.


The colors of these leaves are so vibrant...they just made me so happy!


I loved that all these leaves were in 3 different color stages...the green of summer, the yellow of fall and finally some in the end stages of brown before they fall down to the ground.


One of the last blooms & buds on my rose bushes....loved catching it with the raindrops poised on each petal


One of my favorite photographs I've ever taken...this old tree trunk has Father Claus waiting for folks to find.  So cool right?



Both photos taken with my camera from the same exact spot....love how the change of colors/tones goes from a gorgeous & bright Fall image to a bit more mysterious and secluded view.  The woods behind my house are gorgeously littered with fallen trees and huge rocks covered in moss...how can you not love it?

Yes, this is the photo I made the other wordy version out of :)



Found a few berry bushes still clinging to the warmth....






And I had to snap one of my Baylee....yes she's looking shaggy but always so cute!


Have a Wonderful Weekend!

Bambi Lives....



The woods behind my house are all conservation area...across the street is a large creek with rapids that leads down to the Potomac River.  Most of the land in our neighborhood is conservation area, so no hunting and lots of wildlife.  Wild turkeys, raccoons, bunnies, squirrels, fox and deer and so on.  
I love my deer and we have a family that comes every morning and evening behind our house to visit.


And its baby season!  This is my "Bambi" and he loves to visit.  I like to throw out apples and corn husks for them when its snowed or the ground is frozen.  As soon as Bambi sees me he trots on over....in this pic he's spotted me...he's on the move LOL!



I'm in love...isn't he the most gorgeous creature...those eyes!
He let me take a ton of pictures this time...so nice of him eh?
I feel so blessed to be in their presence...it brings me a level of peace every evening to see them.



And those cute fluffy white tails....LOVE!
Bye for now!
