Tradition/History. Week 43-52

Our Halloween traditions involve 1. Carving Pumpkins.  2. Getting super excited about the trick or treat event at the local library and then hiding between daddy's legs the entire time and 3. Making Halloween cupcakes at our friends house.

 The crazy cupcake decorators!

Barren. Week 42-52.

Things look pretty barren after the salt water ocean has stormed across your path...hurricane sandy damage one year on.

I actually took this one earlier in the year for another project but it made me think of barren.

Autumn. Week 41-52

Last week I joined up with a group for a local scott kelby worldwide photo walk.  We went to a local reserve that was devastated by hurricane Sandy.  A year on and it is looking beautiful again.  A lot of the leaves and colors captured Autumn for me

Of course we also walked through the house and these fish just made me laugh.  pucker up

and finally autumn isn't complete until your child has run wild through the corn maze.

Light. Week 40-52

I love what light can do for a photo.  Especially early morning or late evening.  These were some early morning ones in our garden.

Midday sun streaming through a window

Midday light on a house but I like the contrast with the shadow in the window

and I liked this for "light" - an old light, some new energy efficient light bulbs and some natural light at the window.
