Fall Pictures

These are pictures I took whilst on an expedition north to view the leafs. Most of the earlier colours had gone (vibrant reds with green and yellow), leaving mostly a more dead-feeling forest of yellows, and grey.

Bees

I've started living on the wild side... 

Summer Sunset

The skyline from our cottage 

Rocks

This was taken on the same day as the picture below. I threw some rocks into the water and used burst mode. I also lengthened the f-stop to make it look more streaky 

The lake

The summer's starting to get old, but the pictures seem to keep on coming 

A series of Tubes

 

Okay, no more flowers for a while, I promise 

Quoth the Raven, "Nevermore"

Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter,In there stepped a stately raven, of the saintly days of yore.Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he;But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door.Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door,Perched, and sat, and nothing more.

--Edgar Allen Poe 

Seagulls in a row

 

Cactus

 

It's coming...

 

Coal Door

This is the old coal door on my house. It was used for pouring the coal into the basement before it was loaded into the furnace. The paint's peeling, so it looks as if it has some sort of horrible skin disease... 

A Church

 

The jellyflower

is it a jellyfish? or a flower?
