Home is where the woods are...
When I got groceries on my first day back from Hawai'i, one of the first things I did was to stop by Walmart and by myself the most hideous colored pocket camera for CHEEP. I even added $3 for a one yr warranty of breakage or malfunction.
I think that will insure that I will never lose or break this camera!
[My previous Sanyo Cheepo croaked in Hawai'i on the first day...but to its credit, I took nearly 4 thousand photos and videos with it in 4 months! The lens quit working and the metal ring around the lens fell off.
Kaput.]
I destroyed the LCD on the Pentax Optio...it is supposed to be indestructible but perhaps the Pentax folks ought to talk with me and design something tough enough to last a year with me?
Anyway, the golden sun was beautiful, the temps were beautiful.
Morris and I slid off into the woods for a look-see.
The Rose Hips are abundant and will provide for many photo ops:
We have mostly yellow maples around here and it was a delight to see them on the floor and above us bathed in golden light:
Rocks and moss always fascinate me. I did a 3 exposure shot of this ... testing out the pink camera or ugly camera as I shall call it from now on.
I turned out rather well.
...and lastly, a group of glorious Wildflowers, the Woodland Asters, shot...cropped...and slightly edited:
The leading photo of course is 'painted' with Topaz Simplify. I think it added a bit of beauty and atmosphere to the shot.
But of course, that is only my opinion.
It is nice to be home and enjoying fall while it lasts.
Welcome home! That camera seems to work pretty darn well!
