Oct 17th

I think the party's over:-)

  • Oct 19th<br /> <br /> Since the biggie trees aren't really doing much, here is one of the jewels of fall, Japaneses Maple Ukigumo. One of my favs and if you hold your mouth just right, in spring it flushes with white leaves with hints of pink and green.
  • Oct 18th<br /> <br /> A whole new meaning to Bird(s) on a Wire<br /> different view below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/103628603/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/4/103628603/Large</a>
  • Oct 17th<br /> <br /> I think the party's over:-)
  • Oct 16th<br /> <br /> Only the 2nd photo, in as many years, of a very special squirrel.
  • Oct 15th<br /> <br /> Sigh..Odd shot, like it anyway. Yea I have weird tastes sometimes.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Probably the better shot, didn't like it as well:-)<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/7/102791989/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1254609/7/102791989/Large</a>
  • Oct 14th<br /> <br /> Tough shot. This guy was up inside our one big blue spruce, lots of odd light filtering in. Also the first time I have successfully handheld the 400 at 1/80. Not something I try to do just turned out that way:-) <br /> <br /> This shot is one Don and I both liked, same sq different angle. Sort of a sq art shot.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/102449985">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/102449985</a>
  • Oct 13th<br /> <br /> It has taken a couple months, finally got the light and the BG I have been wanting.
  • Oct 11th<br /> <br /> Yeash! Attempted to move this shot from one galery to this one last night. It got lost. So this AM uploaded from the computer and both shots show up..Yeash again.<br /> Tornado flattened some houses not all that far from here yesterday evening as a very nasty line of storms came roaring through. Except, as often happens, the system split just before it got here (we got some rain, thunder etc.) and then joined back up east of us. I have been told it has to do with the thermals from the HUGE lake 2 miles away?? Sometimes this is good sometimes bad, last night it was good.<br /> <br /> Sq fix shot<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/101863164/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1762949/7/101863164/Large</a>
  • Oct 10th<br /> <br /> Grass in the morning
  • Oct 9th<br /> <br /> The not so bright juvie Coop was back today so took advantage of it.<br /> Do wish part of him wasn't in shadow, no way around it. This was after he escaped the back yard and the very ticked off mom squirrels that were wanting to rip his face off:-)<br /> <br /> Staring into one of the pre-release pens below.<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1239814/12/101215085/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1239814/12/101215085/Large</a><br /> <br /> Figured I try a moon shot..7:30am<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/3/101215566/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/3/101215566/Large</a>
  • Oct 8th<br /> <br /> Fell asleep waiting for this to process.<br /> <br /> Bun in morning light
  • OCt 7th<br /> <br /> I wish I could say I did this all by myself, but I can't. Except for putting the camera on the tripod, making sure I was in focus and pushin the remote..John Mueller told me how to set stuff. I DID do all the post:-)<br /> <br /> More shots from Hocking Hills below<br /> <br /> <a href="http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/3/100716836/Large">http://thusie.smugmug.com/gallery/1599309/3/100716836/Large</a>

  • Sept 29th<br /> <br /> Late on this, bit under the weather and I fell asleep:-) First shot at one of these guys and it is a pretty big crop. The fence on the right is something you see quite a bit of this time of year at Dawes.

    That party is over for the flowers.:-) Winter, 'the quiet time', is when Don's conifers, in all sizes, shapes ad colors, come into their own.

    the velvet texture Gail is probably from the slickness of the rain on the leaves.

    forgot to mention that the leaves almost look they have a velvety texture on my monitor. Everything must be in focus for you Nonda beacause you have such a beautiful imagination when you photograph...peace again, gail

    YOU CAN'T DEPEND ON YOUR EYES WHEN YOUR IMAGINATION IS OUT OF FOCUS. Peace, gail
