I love fall!  The textures, colors, temperatures, owls and scents.

Shall I go on???

     

Photograph of the Week

Birdbath Tree Reflection 

Aww, mid November!  An odd time to start a series, but the above is my first Picture of the Week.  I have been remiss in posting on my blog this year.  Perhaps this will be a successful new beginning.

Always seeking suggestions, comments and assignments.

Happy Thanksgiving!!

Downtown

Pink Falls

River Walk

Waves

Yes, the Duck was big stuff this fall in Pittsburgh, no argument there.  I posted photos of it in one of my latest blog posts.  But, Pittsburgh and its rivers are always a big part of my photography story.

Pink Falls is an example of Pittsburgh's Breast Cancer Awareness when pink-dyed water runs under the Convention Center.  Walking down the river walk is always grand, but on a bright fall day with the Duck in the distance, it was truly a special treat.  The stiff breeze off the Allegheny even caused waves in the Convention Center pink pools.

Thanks for looking!  I am always happy to get comments and suggestions.

Earlier this month, a friend and I visited Lawrence County.  We came upon this great farm that begged to be photographed : )  More of the series is available at:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxchapelimagesllc/sets/72157636832409373/

Last weekend, we had sunny weather for my exercise effort in the mornings.  I was totally distracted by the wonderful shapes cast by the leaves' shadows.  Today, I will just see puddles!

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.

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.

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.

Image of the Week

Aspinwall Alley

I promise, the last leaf picture of the season! I love the color of the vines that grow on the old buildings in Aspinwall, PA, especially in the alleys that support walking and driving around the borough. The one above connects Commercial Avenue with First Street. I walk it at least once a month on my way to Chich at Lu Chic. It is always a great visit - lots of laughs, old friends and a reasonable head of hair for a few hours! More alley shots in flickr.

A Dancer's Grace

I love the transition seasons of fall and spring, but especially fall. My manager, Lynne, would say that my love for the season is because I love taking pictures of leaves. She's right, I do. But, I also love the brisk temperatures, the Steelers, fires in the fireplace, pumpkin soup and the start of the holiday season. See more of my favorite fall pictures in my flickr photostream.
