Goodbye, October

Goodbye, October, a photo by speckled_beckle on Flickr.

There is still autumn left, but not much.

We've already had three snowstorms in my area, and more may come during the next month. November has been a historically unpredictable month for snowstorms.

I've been taking advantage of the fall colors while I can, but I've mostly stuck to the autumn I see around me in my front yard.
I didn't make it to the mountains this year, but I will make it a goal for 2013.

This little vagabond leaf was hanging out in the currant bush in the front yard, detached from its normal branch --that is, indeed, a currant leaf.

Tis the last of October, so Happy Halloween, everyone!

November brings Christmas prep and, of course, Thanksgiving.

(By the by, do you notice a new watermark I'm trying out? I may need to make it bigger, but I don't know. Feedback on that would be appreciated.)

Session::Scott

The plan for the day included hanging out with my friend, Krista.
We were going to edit* and bake banana bread.
(*Krista is also a photographer.)

While we were hanging out, she invited me to a session that she was going to have with her cousin, Scott, that night.

I had to run home beforehand, but agreed.

The first place we were going to shoot was closed for the season.
So we went somewhere else. (And it's a place that is quickly becoming one of my favorite places to shoot!)

It was near sundown, but we managed to get some great shots in before the sun went down.
(By the way, I am loving my nifty fifty!)

Here are some of my favorite photos from that day.
