The blackberries grow wild everywhere around here

I picked a bucket full at Titlow Park, then came home and picked another bucket full in my neighbors backyard. Made a crisp. Damn good berries. (this was 2 months ago or so)

I'm Already Tired of This Weather

So I think I'll post some sunny flowery pictures.
yikes, its only early November. insert sad face here.

You Capture - Photographers Choice

I chose Natural Autumn Light for this one. I love the quality of light in the afternoon on a sunny October or late September day.
Thanks to Folding Laundry for hosting the photo challenge week after week, even when you're feeling so awful. Head to her site to look at all the other great photos.

It being close to Halloween still - more dead plants

Across the road from my parents cabin. Its a state park, I need to figure out what its called.

Late Afternoon Sky in Autumn

Some Autumnal Bokeh For You

More dead plants.
Happy Halloweeen y'All!

More Mostly Dead Plant in the Field

I have developed a fascination with taking pictures of dead plants.
They often look sharp and angular, very different from when they were alive and thriving.

You Capture - Autumn

I'm really happy with the way this photo turned out. It was rather windy so I set up the camera with manual focus and shot 4 or 5 times thinking at least some of it will be in focus. Not sure what kind of plant that is.
This is my contribution to You Capture over at I Should Be Folding Laundry Check it out, you'll be glad you did.

Concrete Picnic Table. And a Leaf.

Taken down at the park at Lake Harriet. I love the shallow DOF.

Grandpa Sam's Coffee Grinder

Someday I hope to grind some coffee and make myself a cup. Its at least 75 yrs old I think. Another shot at my parent's cabin.

You Capture - Technology - A Photo Challenge

This was new technology at the time, its a sandwich press.

This is my first time taking part in the challenge over at I Should Be Folding Laundry (which IMO is one of the best blog names EVER). You can go here to check out the rest of the entires.

Milkweed going to seed

Love the browns in this picture. Normally I don't care much for the color brown.

October Greeblepix Entry

I had a rather tough time choosing a photo for my entry this month. I took this yesterday out walking with my Mom. My parents have the most awesome cabin in Grantsberg, WI, right across the road from a State Park - we were out on this prairie walking around, saw deer tracks, sand crane tracks and BEAR tracks. But no bears- thankfully.
Anyway, this won, its my Mom and Dad's favorite tree. Here is a link to the rest of the greeblepix entries - enjoy! There are so many amazing photographers.
