27

My most favorite person in the world turned 27 yesterday.

That’s okay. Clearly he’s still 10 inside, which is one of the best things about him.

Happy Birthday again, Jeremy!

The entire set of photos from the surprise shindig are here. Nothing professional, just fun. :)

Photo Competition

So Jeremy and I engaged in a photo challenge this evening. We had one hour to roam around the park and take photos on our phones. We could then process them on our phones and then pick out 10 favorite. This was hard because I took close to 200 photos but here’s my 10. I chose to stick to border less square format except for one vertical panorama. What do you think? Also here are Jeremy’s competing entries.

Mobile Photo Friday

[box type=”shadow”]Mobile Photo Friday is a collection of photos taken over the last week or so. The requirement is that all photos are taken on a phone, edited only on a phone. I use it to challenge myself to be visual and creative during every hour of my day! Have a good photo you took with your mobile device? Share in the comments![/box]

More Fall Goodness

Another series of images I took last weekend and the weekend before of fall glory! :)

1138

The leaves are like an inch deep in some parts.

1131

Fall can be even more stunning with some serious blue sky.

I think looking up is one of my favorite things to do this season.

1126

As well as producing bokeh. Hehe.

1110

Everything’s littered….

1101

And the sun washes across the lawns in warm colors.

And of course the forest becomes suddenly more magical.

AND NO BUGS! Woo hoo!

Cardinal

I was so thrilled to see this little guy on my walk early Sunday morning.  Cardinals are such amazing creatures. A flare of red among the other fall colors had me swooning.

When I was dejected about having no subjects to shoot that morning, God provided this, and some others, instead.
I pretty much spent the morning alone, feeling the presence of the Almighty. The great force that drives all the other forces. The unknowable, but definitely detectable presence.  The spirit on the other side, and this side of the lens.

The cardinal in the leaves.

Bam

Okay people it’s bokeh time.

I made Jeremy hold this up in like 20 different positions so I could get the bokeh right in the background. Poor guy. He tolerates me.

It was super bright that day. Here’s my cheerful assistant. :-)

It was like walking through an enchanted wood. And everything was on fire.

It gives me the shivers looking at these photos. :)

This entire week will likely be fall photos. I have … oh … nearly a thousand in store. :)

It’s so cold… but I have to force myself to go out and experience my seasons.
