Lost In The Shuffle

Between work and home schedules, weather, and other obligations, opportunities to get out to shoot can come sporadically. Which means having material for here can be feast or famine, which I’ve probably mentioned before. Goin’ through my folders, I found one from October that I hadn’t done anything with, and felt I should. Was coming home from work one evening, and things looked quite ominous over the lake. The first three were taken in Sheffield Lake.

Not threatening at all, but I loved how the water rushed over the flat stone at the top, and then around the speckled one in the middle.

Here’s hoping your new year is NOT a stormy one!!

The Blooms Keep Coming

I’ve been quite surprised to see my roses blooming so late in the season. Came home one morning from running some errands to see five spots of pink hanging in the air at the end of my flower bed. Caught’em at just the right time, I think.

Lisa called today’s challenge, and could it be any more appropriate?? Halloween: Decorations, costumes, whatever the holiday means to you. There was a lot I wanted to do, but I had oh-so-little time to do it in. What I did get a chance to shoot, got me a few that were appropriate.

In Sheffield Lake: Leaves changing color, cloudy skies.

Fewer boats in the water.

Lisa and Ree should have some really great shots, so make sure to pay them a visit, too!! And who’s got next week’s challenge?

Got some late entries from Bryan!!

Been kinda busy of late, and my heart just hasn’t been in it. Call it a funk, I don’t know. Anyway, the rose caught my eye this morning, catching the early sun. Hope all is well.

This Was Going to Be…

I started out Friday with the intentions of capturing the changing leaves, the fall colors, the blazing trees. With a very light rain going on, more of a sprinkle really, it was no big deal. I shot a trio of maples at LCCC, and then drove over to Bur Oak, to see if the trees from the Trail article had changed yet. By the time I parked, it was no longer a sprinkle, but a decent rainfall, and if you’re standing still focusing, you’re gonna get wet.

While shooting the leaves of a bush at the Metropark, the focus now became the water running off the leaves.

Hope you had a good weekend.

Chagrin Falls: The Rejects

A while ago, I posted a photo that almost got deleted because I didn’t think it was all that great. More than one person told me they thought it was a really good picture, which goes to show what I know. I guess I should just shoot’em, and let someone else sort’em out.

So, as I wind up the Chagrin Falls series, these are the shots that didn’t make it before today.

(Note: If there is a blue frame around a photo, clicking on the photo will open another window with a larger view.)

One of the main attractions in Chagrin Falls, Ohio are the falls, but there are also two sets of falls. This is the first set, visible from the road.

Walkin’ On Sunshine

Something about a crisp, fall day that seems to bring out the love. Goin’ for a walk, holding hands, looking at the leaves changing colors. When I was in Chagrin Falls two weekends ago, I couldn’t help but notice all the couples and the hand-holding. I’m sure that Saturday being Sweetest Day didn’t hurt, either. It was really something to see.

First Frost

It’s that time of year again. Days are growing shorter, weather becoming just a little bit colder, the instances of feeling the sun’s warmth on your face are gradually becoming fewer. Winter is creepin’ up on us.

Got up the other morning to take the kids to school, and we’d had our first frost of the fall season. As I walked through it, the detail that I could make out in the pre-dawn light was incredible. I was lucky enough to capture it, and I hope you enjoy it.
