Scarlet and Grey

This image came out pretty good. Grey is the toughest color to image. No doubt some of you may wonder where the grey is in the picture. That means your monitor is calibrated differently than mine. Whatever the colors I love the swirls in the background.

Let me tell ya, at f2.0 the LensBaby is a bear to focus! To get this image I stood on a rickety picnic table and the wind was blowing the leaves.

More leaves - I can't stop

Only another week and one of the best falls for photography will be over. Then I'll stop this craziness with leaf images.

This image was captured on Fields Rd. in Bainbridge Township, OH.

Soon it will be barren and desolate as winter sets in across Northeast Ohio. Anyone willing to pay for me to take a trip to someplace exciting? Tuscany? Morocco? Cabo?

Lilies on a rainy day

A pair of beautiful lilies or gladiolas (thank you to my cousin MaryAnne for the correct info) in front of Thayer Hall at Holden Arboretum.

An Amish Saturday

Amish life is simple and fun. Plenty of walking or riding on horse-drawn vehicles. Here's a few scenes in and around Mesopotamia, OH. Enjoy!

An Amish father and his sons walk along the road.

An Amish family takes a ride on a cart pulled by Shetland pony.

An Amish couple takes an afternoon stroll.

A familiar site throughout Geauga, Trumbull and Ashtabula counties are these Amish buggies.

Leaves and camera

Why do fall leaves and digital cameras go so well together? Take a look!

This grove of trees were so spectacular I almost parked in the middle of the road to shoot them. The sky looks great and with my handy polarizer filter the blue sky looks glorious.

A nice contrast of a barren tree in the foreground against a beautiful tree in the background.

The Falls at Chagrin Falls

Friday was a beautiful day in the Cleveland area. The sky was blue, the weather was mild and the leaves are lovely. I took a short stroll around the Triangle in Chagrin Falls. Enjoy!
