Two Fronts Passing

Some great storms have been sweeping through the area.  I have been taking advantage of the beauty.

This particular day, two fronts passed ... one below the other.

Pizza!

Margherita

Yesterday I had the opportunity to photograph 

pizzas at Fratelli's Wood-Fired Pizzeria.  

It's a bustling little place and we only got to capture a few of their pizzas, but these guys know what they are doing!

mmm-mmmm-mmmm-mmm

Jimson in Winter

(Datura stramonium)
I have been off schedule with my "somewhat daily" photos with the celebrations of the season.  It's time to get back on track!  My kids were building a fort in the woods and wanted to show me their progress.  So, I grabbed my camera and followed them out!  Photographic opportunities abound at dusk in the woods.  

Grease Wars

One of my favorite nephews wedding is coming up and all of his future in-laws are from up north. We thought it would be funny to expose them to a southern redneck family photo op. We run our truck on waste vegetable oil so we used that as our prop. We had a lot of fun, but it was cold.

Patriotic Texture

This is part of an exercise I have assigned myself.  There will be many more editorial photos like this to come.

Textures

It is amazing what you discover by looking up close at your surroundings. We walk by interesting things everyday. Usefull things. I am going to start using these textures in backgrounds for other images. I love photoshop.

Last of the Tomatoes

We had a great garden this summer. I guess it is finally over. Time to prepare for next year.

Great photo book from Amazon

Grandescunt Aucta Labore

Procrastination always forces me to create my daily image at dusk. It doesn't matter, the light is beautiful at dusk. When the season changes, things that were once in splendor droop away to translucent has beens preparing for a different phase of life. Winter is coming on, and the woods are getting ready. They have dropped most of their leaves exposing every flaw, but blanketing the ground for a new sub-culture of activity. Nature takes advantage of every moment.

BY HARD WORK, ALL THINGS INCREASE AND GROW

The Sights and Sounds of Fall

A look at the woods in late fall and in preparation for winter.  The stack of wood is getting bigger!

The boys found this poor turtle upside down in the woods...they were too late to help, but, they are making lemonade from lemons...it will soon be a rattle.
