I was fortunate enough to get the Sunday errands done before the sun slipped below the horizon.  That good fortune allowed me to venture out into the fields across the road to explore with the camera.  I had a nice hour long walk before the snow started to fall.  Of course, as soon as I returned to the house and put everything away the sun pushed the snow back and had one last light show before ending the day.  It didn’t matter, I think I managed to get a few nice pictures and I know I had a good time exploring.

I selected this picture from the few I really liked because of the colors.  Currently my world is a mixture of browns and whites, so a little red and green brightened my outlook.  Another reason for this picture is the definition in the leaves.  I liked the saw-tooth edge and the clearly defined veins visible on each leaf.   And then there is the amount of effort I put into getting this picture.  I was moving a few branches out of my way and practically held the camera above my head to get this view.  I had to work for it and I think it turned out how I saw it in my head.

This is another picture from my walk today that I liked.  I know I over exposed the sky but I was intrigued by the condition of the apples.  The few that remained in the upper reaches of the tree were full of texture and stood out with their faint red color.  I could see evidence that the local deer had finished off any f the apples within reach or those that had made it to the ground.

I still have pictures to look through and process.  It might be worth the effort to process my favorites and write up another entry unrelated to my 365 project.  We’ll see if I can make the time later in the week…
