At my cousin’s softball game, on the bleachers between innings, had the opportunity to catch a few shots of the sunset, as well as of the moon. This one is my favorite of the sunset shots (I think I am saving moon for another day this week).

I was visiting with my aunt to go with her to my cousin’s softball game, but the game was postponed due to another team needing the field. Later in the day my cousin called me to ask if I could take pictures of her practicing. This is one of my attempts. I am thrilled that Shelby wanted me to take pictures of her. I just wish she would have called during daylight hours… lighting is a pain in the dark, especially for sports.

Everybody remember the apple pictures from last week? Well… my father decided that what was needed in my life was more apples, so now there is another huge bag of apples in my kitchen and I haven’t finished with the first batch yet.

Such a gloomy day out, even the fall foliage failed to have its usual intensity. The gray sky darkens the entire image.

I went to the Schiele Museum’s “Scottish Heritage Day” today which featured Scottish and Irish dancing, a bag pipe band (Loch Norman Pipe Band) and a Border Collie sheep dog (which herded ducks).

A simple fall landscape. Cropped to emphasize the movement in the sky and the color of the autumn foliage. This image was composed of 3 separate images in an image fusing technique to use the best possible color and exposure from each.

I’m preparing to polish my boots using a technique recommended to me by a friend. Thanks for the tips David, maybe tomorrow’s photo will be a pair of glossy shined Danner Ft. Lewis.

Flower shot through the railing of the deck, the way they are seen through the living room window.

Lately I have been doing a lot of astrophotography, but I don’t often get great color like this. I suspect it is because I went out earlier in the evening this time (about 7:30pm) to get this shot. As one of the comments states, the foreground is blurry, so the stars are in focus. I don’t know why I do that at wide field, I suppose just for technical correctness (since after all, I am attempting to please the astrometry.net blind solver).
