Fascinating ....shroom?

No clue what this one is or is called. Just happened to spot it the same day out as the little red ones below. The sun kept shining on it, and fading too. Really cool!

Little Red Firecracker

The mushroom's are popping up all over the place out in the woods! These tiny red/orange ones were easy to spot against the dull brown of the leaves. But tiny, no bigger than a dime.

The Mighty Oak, the mighty acorn

The end of the leaves each year, also drops the beginnings of new trees too!
This was behind my house, in the 200 acres of the Wolf Grove we call home.

Golden Fields

Beside my house, big round bales, in the fading light of end of day.

Dirt Bike Fun!

My friend Dave coming out of the grass track at Calabogie. He's part of the Bytown Motorcross Association, and this track was an option he set up for the 20th Anniversary of the Calabogie Boogie.
He asked us to help with timing of the grass track runs.
We had a blast even just helping!!!
This is a composite of a 3 burst set of shots as he arrived at the finish. I think it's kinda cool!!

Sky on Fire

The sunset Monday, October 4th, 2010. Taken just around the corner from my home. The colours were changing by the second...got to this spot in time to capture it! Whew....
I love it.

Near......far....

A Golden tree along the fenceline. The roadside fence post in the foreground.

At Rest under a Red Blanket

A little cemetery in McDonald's Corners, St. Columbkill's.

Early Morning Peekaboo!

Started out on a fall drive for myself, a few hours of peace, and enjoying the glorious colours! My first stop, was 1 min down the road from my house! lol

What a lovely morning....

Fall Glory, Forest Road, Ramsay Twp, ON

several delightful colours of the fall, captured from the fenceline of the road.

Here's Looking at You, Kid

So, a trip to the Nature Museum when it reopened was a hit this year! The kids had fun and we explored a lot of the sites, well..all of them I think.
This eyeball, up close and personal, was just...well...looking at me.
So I snapped a shot.
:)

Morning Delight

One bleary eyed early morning, woke up far too early, for no reason at all. Got out of bed and happened to look outside, to this...gorgeous ruby sun rising thru a soft focused sky.

Camera...camera....dammit! downstairs...

scamper down (as best as can on sleepy feet), grab it and head outside for best perspective.

Got it, with one eye open only!

Mosquito's having a heyday on my sudden appearance too.

sigh.

but got the picture! (ty to my friend who has told me that...you know who you are ;) )

and think I got a pretty good one too!

Look Ahead, or...

Behind? Took this one on the way home one day.
The road behind me married up with the road ahead.
I just liked it and was pleased that it worked out so well.

Last One First......May I Introduce.....

Such is the way of Blogging, the most recent photo posted is the latest. lol

Please say hello to Laurie-Anne, Becka and Michelle, 3 sisters who asked me to photograph them as an Easter gift for thier family.

I used Michelle's camera (a Nikon d3000) that she got for Christmas.

We spent some time indoors, then changed into something brighter and headed outside to enjoy the gorgeous weather!

The 'rents' were away for a few hours, and we took advantage (hehehehehe) I hear they were very pleased with the pics (we took abt 250 all told I think)

Eye's this way please??!!

Geeze...you'd think I could keep all of them looking my way, but sheesh....they have minds of thier own!

Pose please

After being inside for a bit, we changed up the clothes and headed out to the grey but bright spring day.

The girls were the colours, the landscape the setting. The dogs came for our walk too!

This one is already printed and framed at thier dad's workplace.

:)

Peekaboooooo!

Hehehehee....horsing around is much fun too...mucho in fact!

The Flowers of the Day.

What characters these 3 girls are!! I had so much fun, thank you for having me take your pics girls!

Spring Sunset Last Night

What was the reason I took this..... look below.

This was just after the sun faded. The picture below is only moments before..... Such a massive difference.

They call it the Golden Hour don't they??

hmmmmm maybe this is why?!

This is facing East, with the gorgeous 'golden light' shining on the still naked spring tree's from last nights 'dull as dirt' day. The sky is grey, the cedar's the only bright thing in the county....and then those lovely sun rays peeked, just before disappearing below the horizon behind me.

Thanks to the 'cloning tool' I got rid of the power lines too :)
