December Sunset -- Day 340

I guess I'm going with a sky theme the last few days. :) The sunset tonight was gorgeous!

Sky Silhouette -- Day 320

Red Leaves -- Day 311

I don't know what kind of leaves they are, but they were pretty!

Heart Stump -- Day 308

Fall Colors -- Day 288

I'm enjoying figuring out my new camera. I didn't think it would be so hard getting used to a new one, but it has been interesting. It's funny how a camera can become like a good friend, you just learn what to expect from them. I've been working on figuring out mostly ISO settings and what to set things on to get it to work like I want it to. :) I think I'm going to have to do a comparison shoot with both cameras and see what the differences are.

On the way to church I saw this gorgeous view along the highway. It was overcast and the colors were popping. On the way home Dad stopped on the shoulder so I could snap a photo. The change of lighting, from that morning, changed the look of the colors, but it was still pretty. Wish I could have spent more time, but parked on the shoulder of a large highway isn't really be best place for a photoshoot.

Fall Colors -- Day 279

Yep, the fall colors have begun and with them, my favorite time of year. :)

Walnuts -- Day 232

Candle in the Woods -- Day 231

Tree and Fence -- Day 224

I went to a gathering of friends and this pretty spot of "farm" was right next to the church we met at. :) I took a lot of photos at the gathering, but chose this one for today's photo. Right next to this little field of grass was my dream house, a log cabin with wrap around porch. :)

Rolling Farm Land -- Day 217

I took this photo Saturday morning while Amber and I took a walk. I love rolling farm land! If I ever live in the country I want there to be a gravel road and rolling land with trees.

The View -- Day 183

When I started this year's project I thought it would be fun to post something extra special for my photo at the half way mark. Little did I know that I'd be riding a hot air balloon exactally halfway through the year. :)
My employers got me a balloon ride for my birthday. :D The hot air balloon ride was spectacular. Makes me want to go into ballooning. :) Definitely going to be one of the highlights on my 30th year. :)

Thought it would be fun to do a little tilt-shift editing on this picture, to give it a miniature look. :)

Shady Woods -- Day 149

I captured this shady wooded view as I walked down our "Rails to Trails" path. It looks so cool and peaceful! Wish we could have explored, but all that underbrush is rampant in Poison Ivy. :)

Pine Sap -- Day 124

A drop of sap on a pine tree. I found this while I waited for Dad to be ready to head home from work.

Oak Leaves -- Day 117

Tree Frog -- Day 107

My brother found a frog today. :)
