lake, after rain
It’s not New England level of fall color*, but we do the best we can, even if we have to rely on an assist from the red car and yellow van in the background.

*Disclosure: I’ve never been to New England in the fall and am basing this statement on seeing approximately 400 zillion photos full of trees and leaves and hills and barns and color and whatnot.

The weather forecast promised rain all day on Sunday. I was very excited because I’d spotted a thing I wanted to photograph in the rain, with reflections coming off the wet pavement. The rain’s arrival time got later and later every time I looked at the forecast, and by about 4:00, I decided to drive all the way across town in hopes that maybe the rain would have arrived by the time I got there. (I had something else to do later in the afternoon so my rain-window was pretty narrow.)
Anyway, it didn’t start raining while I was out, so I didn’t get the shot I wanted. But I did find this nicely colored scene.
(The rain eventually arrived about midnight but I did not go out and get the shot, as I was busy sleeping. It’ll rain again someday. I think.)

a shadow of itself
Out at my place on the rim of a canyon*, it’s usually too windy to catch a photo like this – generally these thin stalks of grass are whipping around at blur-inducing rate.
But the there was this one day in December when it was sunny and warm and calm. So I made this image.

*I mean, it’s not the Grand Canyon, but nevertheless, it is still a canyon.

We made a family excursion out to the driving range the other day. Some of us hit golf balls and others of us played around with the settings on her new camera.

A late afternoon rain shower + a new camera = a good practice session.
