Sunday Morning Walk to Church

This morning had rich soft, autumn light.  I saw it when I got up.  Wow, this is good light I thought.  At the same time, I acknowledged that it wasn't quite that good - yet.  It was a little too soft.  Lacking contrast.  Too cloudy.  Too overcast.  About 30 minutes before I was going to leave for church, the sun started to peak through a little bit.  Still soft, but now with a crispness to the light as well.  Perfect.  It rained last night.  Saturated colors, soft light, and crisp contrast.  Perfect for macro.  But church . . .  So I decided to walk to church, camera in hand.  Here are 10 minnutes of photos there.  Another couple shots on the way back.  Church was awesome.  The walk was awesome.  I love the Lord, his creation, and this day.  Enjoy.

Dinner's been good.

Sunsets have been great.

Peter's been cute.  He continues to amaze us.  Enjoy the rest of the photos!

Prairie Oaks Rest

I took some photos last Sunday morning at Prairie Oaks Metro Park.  It was a chilly morning.  20 mph winds.  Hat weather.  A fall morning that acts like literary foreshadowing - of winter.  I felt fully alive.  It was restful.

More and more I enjoy photographing what is before me.  I started with a 20mm lens that morning - intending to shoot big landscapes; I ended up doing most of my work around 135 - 200mm.  Textures and details.  Sometimes I think the story is in the details.  The main subject of my photos were the creamy-colored tufts of FoxTail. I understand that fox tail is not a native grass, but it sure was beautiful.   Enjoy.
