Snow Covered Trees in Plymouth, MA

Our second snow storm of the year covered our tall oaks beautifully today, Joe and I went for a walk in this amazing wonderland. These photos can't really show the fairy tale land that was created, but it's a humble attempt.

I've now had my new Leica X camera for about 3 days, very happy with the images, its lighter weight and sleek design.

Snow fall amounted to a little under 4 inches, much more fell further north.

No power outages, just pretty snow everywhere!

Joe has the best winter gear, getting ready to use snow removal devices.

 A prop for some color. You'll see this in his blog, too :-)

An amazing winter wonderland!!!

Fall in Morton Park, Plymouth, MA.

New England has the best color this time of year, beautiful to behold and amazing opportunities to play with color and light! I visited Morton Park in Plymouth with my friend Jean this week, a lovely fall day. Using only my Lensbaby Composer with my Canon 6D, a nice light set up, and easy to carry around as we hiked a few trails.

Fall splendor!

I'm often attracted to bright colors!

So where are the fish??

Fall in Beautiful New England

The most beautiful color can be found during Fall in New England and I take my camera everywhere. The Plymouth Digital Photographers club is going strong, we've had 45 meetups since June 15th and are now 243 members and growing daily. I'm even giving a talk to the Kiwanis on Monday night, and I attended a vocational advisory dinner at the high school last week. Community outreach at it's finest! I am loving organizing meetups, making new friends with like minded photographers and seeing others doing the same, so rewarding. My best 'job' ever, a labor of love.

We've been out shooting, a lot, and here are some of my favorite images.

Rick, a member of the photo club, did a presentation on HDR yesterday for our club and I downloaded the free trial version. A very cool program to bring out the details in your photos, easy to use and this is from one exposure, not the traditional 3. HDR is all the rage, stands for High Dynamic Range.

Morton Pond. I stopped by here late in the afternoon and what a beautiful catch, for me and the fisherman.

Looking through these photos I noticed how many have water in them. Maybe I have a thing for large bodies of water??

Oliver Mills Park in Middleboro, MA, a meetup led by Greg on how to shoot moving water.

I stopped the car on the side of Rt 3 southbound to take this photo of a stump studded marsh.

I won't do that again, the traffic was going way too fast for comfort!

Ed Randall's cranberry bog, a lovely day to enjoy this very well kept water harvested bog. Some bogs are dry harvested.

Processing the cranberries into the truck.

Churning up the berries to get them off the small bushes that are under the water. They float to the top and are corralled then sucked into the truck.

Hydrangea in the fall.

This year the leaves of the Hydrangea by the front door turned a beautiful shade of purple.

18 of us showed up to shoot the sunrise last week on White Horse Beach.

My friend Julie's family portrait, maybe for her Christmas card?? Danika, who just turned 3, and I spent the afternoon together and what a fun time we had! Being a grandparent must be a blast...
