a warm, foggy day

These photos are from November 21st. Quinn and I walked up and down part of our road, enjoying the oddly warm but foggy day. 

We brought along some Trader Joe's peanut butter cups for company. :)

I notice that a lot of bloggers I follow seem to find and take photos of cats while on their walks. We find horses. And the occasional cow. Oh, and if we walk two roads down, we find herds of buffalo, donkeys, and ostriches. It's quite a zoo out here!

the detail

Today we went for a walk and I started taking photos of the woodpile with my phone. Since my phone camera is more macro-friendly than my 50mm, the shots of some of the wood detail are pretty cool... All the photos here were taken with my iPhone 4s. :)

in black and white

Last year, we took some beautiful pics of the farmland around Danielsville... The rain made last year's pics so foggy and beautiful. This year it was dry and cloudy, so we weren't quite as inspired on our trip yesterday. We'll have to go again in December... Meanwhile, these are some shots from yesterday! I thought it would be nice to do a completely black and white post, so here are the monochrome images. I'll post the colors shots sometime! :)

All shot using my Canon 1D Mark II; the first half with my 50mm, the second half with Logan's 35mm. All shot at f/2.0 or lower. :)

Coming up next: Thanksgiving & some more countryside shots from a walk! I know, so exciting you can barely stand it.

Lucy

Warning: This whole post is Lucy. She toddled around the yard today like a pro, picking up leaves and munching on crackers. So I took some photos of her. That is, if you count "some photos" as a lot of photos. :) 

So dirty, but so cute!

The myrtle berry things are already dried and cracking. Remember the myrtle pic from this blog post? (It's in the middle of the page...)

That's then end of our afternoon escapade in the yard. :) Look at that bokeh in the last image, of all the fallen leaves. Bloody gorgeous. I think it was shot at 1.4 or 2.0... 

I need to figure out what to do with the video I have on my phone (it's adding up). I should make something soon.

Anyway, happy autumn again!
