Turkey Day

Sunflower, November 26,2009 - Nikon D40 with 55 mm lens

Today I am grateful for so many things, especially my family, the fact that we're all healthy, that we're safe and that we are together. I wish you all a happy, delicious Thanksgiving!

Inspiration Avenue: Romance

Romance - Nikon D40 with 55mm lens

For me, the first thing that comes to mind when someone says romance is roses.

Inspiration Avenue: Rust/Cinnamon

Rust, November 15, 2009 - Nikon D40 with 55 mm lens

My contribution to the Inspiration Avenue topic "Rust/Cinnamon".

Naturally, when I wanted to stumble across one of those beautiful rusted pieces of metal I could not find one to save my life. So I go back to what I know best: flowers.

Took A Little Break

Beach View, November 11, 2009 - Sony Cybershot

I took a few impromptu days off from the computer. I had a migraine last week that left me a little drained, and the last thing I wanted to do was squint at a computer screen. But I am better now and snapped these shots from my office this morning. Hope all of you are doing well and enjoying fall, in whatever form it might take where you are.

Inspiration Avenue: Ghostly

Two Hundred Year Old Grave, Savannah, October 2007 - Sony Cybershot

Ancient graveyards are like church to me. A place to be silent and reverential. This graveyard is over three hundred years old and many of the tombstones I could not read, as wind and weather had worn smooth their surfaces. But this one stopped me. A child's grave.

Ghostly, indeed.
