Day #310- Autumn Estuary

A colorized view of the previous shot, however looking in a different direction. The red berries really stood out.

Day #309- Ocean Inlet

Went shopping with a friend last weekend. Believe it or not, this tranquil scene was just steps from a shopping mecca!

Day #308- Hiking Panorama

So this is my first panorama put together in Photoshop. I watched a quick how-to video, and was surprised how very easy it was! This is actually a 180˚ view at the summit of our hike yesterday, stitched into one panoramic shot. My husband is checking out the view below. It was a gorgeous day, and likely the last one of THAT caliber for months to come!

Day #307- Path in the Moss

Walking along the trail yesterday we came upon this path that had been worn to the ledge below, with moss on either side. Kind of a neat, little path!

Day #306- White Oak

Even though we're into November, there's still a little color left to be seen! On our hike yesterday we came across many species of trees we don't see as much of in the dooryard. Case in point, I believe these to be white oak leaves. I can't say, however, that they were on a "tree". More like a scrubby bush closer to the summit of the mountain we hiked. I liked the smattering of colors in the light of the sun!

Day #305- Water Stop

Did some more hiking this weekend. On the way, drove along a road we'd never been on before, and saw this awesome old water tower. Instinctively, I expected there had to be railroad tracks nearby, and sure enough we spotted some just down the road! Although I probably should have, I'd never quite put together why the water towers were often near tracks. So I did a quick Internet search and discovered that they were called "water stops", originating with steam engines and the frequent need to replenish water. I even found out that some isolated water stops were favorite ambush spots for train robbers. Hopefully this was a peaceful water stop!

Day #304 - Twinkling Lights

I love how in this picture, there's one light in focus and get blurrier as you go to the left! It's getting to be that time!
