Fog, for the birds

I really wanted a photo of birds flying near the bridge. I thought if I waited long enough, these birds would do me this little favor. Nope.

Afternoon with Uncle Mark

Monday, November 21, 2011

My brother is visiting with us for a few days. Since he needed to buy some wine for his host, I figured this was as good as excuse as any to take him to Apple Hill. While we were there, we visited a "newish" ranch that had a nice nature trail. It was overcast, but I managed to capture a few shots along the way. This is one of them.....

Angry Ducks

No, it's not a new game. I am referring to the food crazed fowl at the beach near my daughter's school's nature trail. Truly, they are the most aggressive ducks/geese I have ever met. Or maybe it was just the geese. As I've said before, I'm a knitting photographer, not an ornithologist...

In any case, one of them threatened to eat me if I didn't give him more food. Worse yet, he wouldn't stay still long enough for me to take a picture in focus. Boo for me...at least I still have my fingers.

A child's logic or Ode to Plastic Cups

My son: I let my sister have the special cup.
Me: Which cup?
My son:  The plastic cup. All plastic cups are special.
Me:  What makes them special?
My son: They're special because they are plastic.

I took a lot of landscape shots today, but my favorite picture is this one.

Apple hill

I love Fall at Apple Hill. My son and I had a brief outing there today. One of the ranches has a Japanese Maple tree whose leaves turned a wonderful bright red. I wish my tree turned like this!

A Low Key photo of my son. He was having fun playing with his flashlight in the dark - "Look mommy, a shadow of my bucket....my chair....the blanket you got from IKEA!"
