Whatever Weds. More Fall Color

I’ve been out a few times since my last post photographing fall color. The trees are peaking in some areas and slowly turning in others, but this year is gorgeous compared to last year.

Here’s a look at Slide Mountain from a hill above the Carson River. The Cottonwoods lining the river are lovely in their autumn colors.

A little further up the road I stopped and got out of my car to look behind me. I had to walk back a ways to get this shot, but I think it was worth it.

The river is very low right now.

I signed myself up for still life Season’s course that started on Monday. I’ve been playing with tablescapes since. If I get a composition I love I’ll share. 😀

I hope you’re all having a good week and staying healthy, and busy.

Friday Oct. 9th late afternoon while coming home from photographing some fall color I stopped to make this image.

Tree-lined drive, ranch house, and pasture

I’m planning to return here next week when the front trees should be more yellow/orange.

I hope your week is going well!

Whatever Weds. The Milky Way

I woke up really early last week and the sky was cloudless so I thought I’d go out back and photograph the Milky Way. The light-pollution is worse than I remember! This was at 3:49 A M!

Jupiter and Saturn are still shining brightly over the Pinenut Mountains. Mars has marched so far East it’s out of the frame.

What do you do when you wake up in the wee hours of the mornin?

Whatever Weds. Daybreak on the Pond

We had 7 inches of snow last Thursday all over Carson Valley! On Friday a friend and I got up and out really early to catch the sunrise and do some birding. Before we even made it out of our gate we had to stop at the pond to catch the wonderful color and scene at the pond.

The storm blew through really fast, but oh what it left behind is so pretty!

Whatever Weds. Snowbird

The Sparrows have arrived for winter! I’ve topped up all my feeders so they’ll have plenty to eat, but they seem to love the new block of seed and millworms I added.

Here’s I believe a Female White-crowned Sparrow waiting for her turn at the feeder.

I hope you’re all having a great week!
