happy halloween

Back when I visited Atlanta, my friend MaryAnn took me to this fabulous historic cemetery (Oakland Cemetery), where we strolled, and had a marvelous time admiring the various statuary.

balloon glow

As promised, here are several more photos from the balloon glow on Friday.  These pictures are SOOOOOO much better than the ones I took last year, but I still need a few years of practice to get the correct shutter speed and to find the optimal locations from which to shoot.

d258: project 365: (more) spirals

I liked the affect of looking down the lower spiral, all the way through 4 benches, but cannot come up with a catchy title for anything tonight (Tuesday night when I wrote this). I also enjoy how the Art Museum looms out of focus in the background.

and under a toadstool

This is actually my first attempt, using a different shot of the toadstool and a different shot of her playing with it. This one did not turn out so well, but it is a fun idea so I include it anyway.
