Zen Fountain



Here is a photo from the fall that I forgot about. I would have liked to capture some more of the feel of the lovely garden around this fountain with the well placed and shaped rocks. Alas, once again time is the photographer's greatest enemy.

November Maple



I was surprised to find so much color in a maple leaf in November on a trip to the arboretum. Taken with the Vivitar S1 70-210. I think this is one of my favorites from that roll. The cool white background gives the feeling of winter, and the out of focus poly noses in the background were an unintentional element that I only just noticed.

Clouds and Holiday Lights



This is one of those photos that I noticed and took a few moments to take but then had to move on. I would have loved to have hung around and tried to get a shot when the sky was still light and the lights had been turned on, or earlier in the day with sunlight filtering through the colored lenses of the lights.
