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

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...

Celebrating 100 Posts - A Challenge

Yes, we are closing in on our 100th post . Truly amazing. Thank you for reading and participating, helping keep the ideas, words and photos flowing. In honor of this momentous occasion, let's have a party. A party where "100" is featured. Do not become concerned if an idea doesn't pop into your head right away. You have one week to come up with something which includes 100 . Think party, celebration and fun. Think creatively. Think challenge. Photography is about expressing yourself, and challenging yourself. Here's a real stretcher! Celebrate with us by posting a photo (or series) which depicts the number 100 in some way. Let me know if you're going to participate and I'll create a way for everyone to link to each other's pages - chuckling, laughing, crying and surprising. You'll be amazed what you see when you start looking. Still at a loss? Here is a non-exhaustive look at the number 100: 100 years ago (something nostalgic- there's wigg...

Adventure Spots - Ours and Yours

It's June. Officially a summer month, and one I have always loved. It's also a time when I start thinking about having an adventure...to some beautiful, place more distant than my town. Last summer we had a wonderous trip through the western national parks, and spent a little time on the Oregon coast. The Columbia River gorge is beautiful - lush and exotic, fragrant, and heady with motion and sound. The waterfalls are astounding - and we love Multomah falls particularly. There's an upper and lower falls, with hiking paths for those who want to get up close and personal. The regular tourist path is paved, and leads you to this footbridge, spanning the cliff walls between upper and lower falls. Stunning. Where is one of your favorite adventure spots, and why does it touch your soul?
