First Snow 2012

We had our first major snow this past week.  I've been wanting to go outside and take some photos, but with my foot/ankle still healing it is difficult.  However, yesterday after we got home from lunch out for my little brother's birthday lunch I decided to walk around the house and take a few pictures.  A little bit of exercise is good for me, as long as I don't do too much.  So, I walked around the house and out back by the historical society buildings to get a few pretty snow shots.  I really love them and was just pleased to be out and taking photos.  I really miss having the opportunity to do that.  I have taken some pictures in the past month of family and such; but nature photography is really my favorite thing to do.  I am fervently praying that in the next month I will be released back to work and able to start walking more and get outside.  (Not just for photography, but to go home, lose weight, etc.  It's been 6 months almost!)

Anyway, here are my photos.  I am in love with them, but I think my eye is a little skewed right now just because I was so desperate to post and take some pictures.  I hope you like them!  Enjoy!

Around the house in the Fall

Here is the 2nd set of photos from today.  This is more of a random set of photos.  Just a lot of neat things I found while walking around.  Hope you enjoy!

This is a welded sculpture my Dad made.  I'm really proud of it.  It is pretty awesome right?  All found parts and he just put it together because he wanted something to do.  We really are a pretty crafty family!

Flowers in the Fall

Since the weather is so lovely today and I needed to get outside for a little exercise, I decided to go on a short walk around the neighborhood.  It was really worth it.  Fall is really upon us and the shots I got were amazing.  I am so excited to be working on these photos.  I've divided them up into three separate posts: Flowers, Fungus and Misc. 

So, without further ado here is the first set: Flowers.  Basically these are just flowers in our yard and in the Historical Center Area behind our house.  (It wasn't a long walk, but I was sufficiently exhausted when I got back and I was more than glad that I took my crutch with me!)  Enjoy the photos!
