Whiskey To Water

Last night my wife and I checked out a very old Irish pub.  For the price of a Sweet Hot Whiskey, we got to listen to some great live traditional Irish music...fiddle, accordian, guitar, bodhran, and what sounded like a tin whistle...while being surrounded by a massive collection of items that the pub had accumulated in the last 300 years.  Also arches.  Beautiful arches...

...and this guy...

Today, knowing that it was supposed to rain, I tried to get out early for my daily photo.  Apparently it also rained overnight, giving me the perfect chance to use my macro extender.  This is what I ended up with...a raindrop slowly dripping off of a cedar's leaves/needles...

Linear Park

Ephrata, the town in which I currently reside, has a nice little walking and biking path.  They call it Linear Park.  Much of the trail is currently covered with pretty little yellow petals.  Observe.

This photo seems to continue yesterday's photo for Fall idea.  Though it appears otherwise, this really was taken today.

Ode To The Best Season

Sometimes Summer annoys me.  Were I back in elementary school, I might feel otherwise.  But I'm not.  I work right through the summer.  So really, it just makes me hot and sweaty. 
Summer isn't even yet to really hit, but I know it will, and I know I'll have high electricity bills because of it.  So here is a picture for a better season.  The best season.  Fall.

Ode To The Best Season

Yes, the colors were altered.  But hey, when it isn't Fall, leaves rarely have that beautiful, dried red look that you see here.

In Celebration

I sold three canvas prints this weekend.  All three were to the same person and all three were from one day that I went outside to take my daily picture.  I did not intend to sell the photos when I took them, nor did I think, when I put a print of one of them out at my last craft fair, that someone would like it so much that she would want all three.  Pretty big prints of all three, might I add.
So to celebrate this successful weekend, I went outside today and took a picture of some raindrops that were collected by some leaves.  Maybe something will come of this photo as well.

Layered Leaves

The shadows that the different layers and folds create remind me of a conch shell.  The water droplets may have been a part of the reason why I first thought of something ocean related.
