Point of View

Sensory Overload - that's autumn in Michigan. The colors are so vibrant, and the sound of leaves crunching underfoot is exhilarating. The scent of burning leaves fills the air.

Sharing an autumn walk is both soothing and rejuvenating. I love taking time to be outdoors and reveling in this magnificent beauty. Of course, being photographers during this season is also exciting. Daryl and I love looking for autumn shots to fill our albums and decorate our walls. They also take up a lot of room on our hard drive!

What's also fun is the fact that we see the world around us quite differently. Daryl's a "big picture" type of guy. I love the details, the pictures within a picture. So when we were away last weekend for Crane Fest, we couldn't help but bring our unique styles to the 300+ images we brought home.

We hope you're enjoying the many facets of this beautiful season. Take the time to stop, look, listen, smell the air, and spend time with loved ones.
What do you like to photograph?
Are you a detail person, or a lover of the big picture?
Post an example and I'll like them together.
Let me know:)

I'm usually more of a detail person ... doesn't October have the bluest skies you've ever seen ... amazing


the Chihuly piece you inquired about is in greens and blues and has little arms that extend from it ... reminds me of a small octopus ...

Hi There Sandy, great to hear you enjoy the fall. Just as I do. The color festival didn't quite open up here totaly maybe in one or two weeks we're at the top.
Although I was in Belgium last weekend and it did start there so it must be creeping up to Holland soon.

Great shots here.
Hugs Dagmar

Hidden Gem

Thank you, Georgia , for helping me focus on the hidden gem, the place we love to go and not be found. Not far from home...it IS home. We call it "out back," and once there we are transported to a private place, not visible from houses or road or the casual observer. I couldn't choose just one photo, so I created a collage of this special part of our world. Enjoy.

Happy Week- being home and loving photography

Roamin Meets the GPS- Stories from the Road Lisa, my favorite Curious Girl , created a wonderful idea for a week of "happy" posts. Share those things which make you happy, bring joy to your life, and generally fill you with happy thoughts (I do love the movie Hook , with Robin Williams). We are just returned from our fabulous 23-day, 5600 mile, 10 state, 4 time-zone adventure, and I am filled with happy thoughts today. I am also aware of the piles of laundry, the dirty car, the grocery shopping, and the weary body. Those are not the things I'll share today! Today it's about the joy of road-tripping. The miracle that we live in such a country that everywhere you go you see something to celebrate. I love driving down the road and seeing something new, or different, or unexpected. We drove for a very long time across the upper mid-west, while following signs for "Wall Drugs." Apparently this is a historic stop, originally a place for those who crossed the coun...

100 Blessings

It's funny how a project takes on a life of its own. I started out making a list of things I'd like to take pictures of - piles of M&M's, rocks on the beach, license plates hanging on an old garage door. Then I decided it would be interesting to find 100 items about "me," celebrating my 100th post with items about me/my life/etc. This way I could tie my compulsion to blog in to my theme. So, I started THAT list. And when I was done I decided all the things I was collecting, ideas as well as items, were actually blessings. Things about my life that make me who I am and allow me to keep striving to be the best I can be at what I do. Each activity isn't necessarily a blessing, it's my ability to do the things I love to do, and be with the people I love to be with. This became an introspective activity, and that's probably where I am in my life right now. If the shoe fits..., so to speak. So, welcome to my 100th Post ! Without everyone I've met thr...
