Red Leaf with 50mm

During the summer I worked with my 50mm lens taking it off of auto and trying to get as much detail clear and not blurred. If I remember correctly, I had unscrewed the 55mm lens and was holding it backwards against the camera. This was just a leaf I had in my collection, and it was balanced atop my computer.

A Few Leaves Continue to Fall

Our maple tree drops some of the prettiest leaves. All the other trees are bare, but this one continues to share its color with us. Only one more week of class, and then I am on my own to learn how to use all the things I have been taught.

This was waiting for me today as I walked out to check out the creek.

Peek-a-Boo Fall Sky ~ SOOC ~ DP 10-25-12

There is nothing prettier than fall colored leaves against a backdrop of a beautiful blue sky, but today I am befuddled by one thing. How did I end up with such a different tint to the blue on the right when I did not adjust or edit this picture in any manner? It is SOOC.  There is so much I do not understand about how cameras work and there is so much I need to learn.

Daily Photo 10-20-12 ~ Leaves for Leontein

As I worked with these pictures I thought of Leontine, my sister, my niece, our school secretary's daughter, and all of my friends who have fought and are fighting the good fight. There is no family that has not been touched by this disease in some way. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of them. Please take your pictures of leaves and add them to our gift to Leontine, a lovely blogging friend of Nancy and so many others. Visit Nancy's blog, A Rural Journal,  to read more about our gifts of fall's leaves.
