Thanksgiving Weekend in Ohio

Bright Leaf

Shed

Vista

Thanksgiving in Ohio is always a wonderful family time, but it is fun to get out for a rural shoot, too. This year we had every weather type possible: rain on Thursday, sun on Friday and snow flurries on Saturday. Fortunately, it was Friday that was captured on film! More in the flickr photostream.

October in Maine

From the Woods

Lake Vista

In Flight

Stack

What a fall scene I found in Maine last week! The weather was great with the colors at their prime. The company was fabulous!! More pictures this weekend.

Grilling in the Leaves

When I opened the grill tonight, a mouse jumped out of a nest of leaves! It escaped, so I lit the grill. While it warmed up, it smelled just like the leaf burning piles of my youth . It reminded me of fall on West Waldheim Road during the 50's. Sigh!! I shot the photos above and on the flickr photostream as I grilled chicken breasts for this evening's dinner. A beautiful fall evening over the ravine.

Hasselblad Adventures Two!

Into the Woods

Skyscape

I have been out and about with my Hasselblad; at Fallingwater and around in Pittsburgh on foggy days. More at flickr photostream.

The Allegheny River Walk

River Goddess

Butler Street

Last week I took a walk along the Allegheny River in Sharpsburg. It was a beautiful early fall morning. The trees on the opposite mountain were just beginning to change and many summer wildflowers were still in bloom. More images in the flickr photostream.

The Sketchbook Project

My friend, Kitty Spangler, urged me to join her in The Sketchbook Project. It is not just for artists! Anyone can join by signing up for a sketchbook, choosing a theme, paying the fee and completing the project. The sketchbooks will be exhibited in galleries around the country and then housed permanently at The Brooklyn Art Library where they will be barcoded and available for the public to view.

More information is available at: http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject

Sign up by October 31, 2010 and then work and submit your sketchbook by January 15, 2011. The tour begins in March, 2011. Hope you will join us!

Foggy Morning September, 2010

Fog Panorama

Morning Headlines

After a light rain, this morning brought the scent of wet leaves and a wonderful layer of fog in the area. I headed out with the Hasselblad and my Lumix to catch some scenes. I hope we can all enjoy the new cool temperatures and moist air for a while before winter returns! More in flickr photostream.
