So Saturday Glen planned on going to a local airport for their monthly breakfast/fundraiser. I've gone in the past and this Saturday, I planned on NOT going. I really wanted to sleep in. However, I woke up early and since the weather was pretty mild and perfectly Northwesty, I decided to bundle up and join him. I wasn't just going for the hotcakes, grits, scrambled eggs and Tang though; my motive was to get out and find some seasonal color pictures. Here are a few shots...
I love this picture! I snapped it using the landscape setting on my camera and it has a retouched kind of quality to it!
Even though there isn't that much color in this picture, I love the lighting!
It was raining/misting pretty much all day on Saturday. When we got home, Glen and I were out front doing some yard work and I realized the trees in our neighborhood had that electric quality to them. Just gorgeous!
Before I go, I wanted to share a picture I took Halloween night. Two of the neighbor kids came by and I HAD to take their picture! These kids are the greatest little people and they were very happy to oblige, and even started singing for me!
See ya later...and don't forget to vote!!!!

Oh and congratulations to my niece, Drea and her husband, Eric! They just had a baby boy. My oldest sister is now a Grandmother (my youngest sister has two grandchildren) and I am a Great-Aunt THREE times now! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G !!!!!
Love your pictures, Michelle. And the pumpkin your husband carved is awesome!

Ah, hasn't this been the best autumn?! The colors are just stunning this year! Walked around town today to a meeting, then zig-zagged my way home, gathering colorful leaves on the way... I'm feeling a watercolor or 8 coming on... Turned in our ballots today after voting at a pub yesterday---you've encouraged a new tradition for us! Thanks! Was fun!!
