Photo 365 Project - Reflections Two

Given the view in this photo is facing North, What's wrong with this picture? That isn't a sun rising on the horizon, its a reflection off a couple buildings appropriately named "Reflections". They are an interesting pair of buildings; their LEED certification (translation: environmentally friendly construction and energy efficient) may explain the highly reflective nature of the curtain-glass walls. I walked into my office at just the right time to catch the sun rising and reflecting at an angle towards me.

Photo 365 Project - New Road


Time to walk back to the former carriage hills golf course and see how things are going. There are well defined roads now, this one goes through the former club house site. It's being built with what I call the Suburban Curve. I think there is a rule that suburban roads cannot be straight, it distinguishes the 'suburbs' from the 'city'. Or something like that.

Photo 365 Project - Ground Fog

Another sign of the changing seasons - Ground Fog! It's hard to get a good picture on the fly. Sure you could stake out the perfect spot (maybe a picturesque golf course), arrive before sunrise and wait for the light to be just right. Or you could be just waiting to turn onto a street after picking up some coffee and snap a picture through the windshield of your car.

Photo 365 Project - Tree Shedding Leaves


We've had an odd fall anomaly in my neighborhood, all the trees were changing colors at once. Usually a few will go early, then the die-hards will follow suit. Not so much this year, but that seems to have passed. The green faded and the tree's true color stood out for a while, now that has faded too and the dry leaves are falling. Without a strong wind you get scenes like this one, a lone tree with its leaves piled underneath and green grass everywhere else. The grass will be the next to go; the green will fade to brown then turn blazing white as it gets buried in snow. Stay tuned for those pictures, perhaps far too soon.

Photo 365 Project - Frosty Leaf

It's getting colder in the North Country. This little leaf caught some frost overnight in the lawn.
