November 6, 2006 - Day Lilly Survivor
Early morning shower this morning but warming nicely now with breaks of sun. Highs to get into the 60's today. I was surprised to see that a few flowers had survived the hard freezes of the weekend, including this little that's just coming out in bloom.

November 5, 2006 - Madison's Bedroom Look
Bright, sunny day today with temps in the mid-50's. Still fighting a nasty cold, but did get a few shots of Madison today. She loved her little granny gown, and I got her to pose for moment in her rocking chair.

November 4, 2006 - Grass Isolation
Very cold this morning, but moderated a little this afternoon. We hit 20 degrees this morning. Sunny now though and around 50. Still not feeling up to par, but went out for a little while this afternoon, since it was sunny. Used the telezoom on this one to reduce depth of field, and the backlighting kind of gave it a glow.

November 3, 2006 - Another autumn flower
Clear and cold this morning, with a heavy frost. Expecting highs today in the low 40's. Since we're feeling a little under the weather today, we posted a photo from a little earlier in the season. We've taken several shots of this one, and finally got one to turn out ok.

November 2, 2006 - Bird Blind
Heavy rain again last night, then clearing and much cooler today. Bright and sunny, but temps in the low 50's. Because I had my day off switched around this week, I was off today, and had the chance to set up my bird blind around my feeders. I shot this one after getting it set up. As you can see, the finches are still turning colors.

November 1, 2006 - Dying Leaf
Rain last night and early this morning. Getting cooler with temps around 60 today. It is that time of year that green things are doing their swan song. I liked the lines in this leaf, even though it was declining. I hoped the black and white would accent the lines.

October 31, 2006 - Tree Pattern
Not as cool this morning and sunny, but expecting rain by the end of the day. Temps are supposed to be around 70 today. I went for a noon walk yesterday and saw this tree pattern. It reminded me of a photo I had seen in another gallery, which is another good reason to be at pbase. You get great ideas from your fellow photographers. Like this one.

October 30, 2006 - Scarecrow (no relation)
Cool with light frost this morning, but sunny now and temps expected to be near 70. I thought I'd get a shot of this fellow while he was still around. Surprised the vandals hadn't already gotten him. And he and I are not related.

October 29, 2006 - Dogwood Berries
A bright sunny day today with temps in the 50's. I had church meetings most of the day and didn't get to go out, but had this one from last week. I've been trying to get a photo of the dogwood berries, because of their unique shape and their vivid color. I thought this one represented both of those characteristics.

October 28, 2006 - Nearby Barn
Heavy rain last night. Dreary and wet this morning, and high winds this afternoon. Life kind of got in the way today, so I posted a photo taken earlier this week of a barn that is only about a mile from my house. Most people would not notice it, since it sits over the road bank.

October 27, 2006 - Autumn Rain
Cool and raining today. Highs in the mid to upper 40's. Kind of a raw day, so I was out shooting under the umbrella again today. I've been looking at these leaves because the color was so vivid. I thought this kind of represented the day today.

October 26, 2006 - Autumn Flowers
Overcast and cold this morning. Expecting rain to set in today. This will probably bring down the rest of the leaves. A few hardy flowers still remain, including these.
