Uncorked

Snails

It was a tad warmer here on Saturday, and I think that brought out the garden creatures. We found three of these guys wandering around on our sidewalk.

Some Fall Colors

Tobacco barn

Somewhere in Carter County, Ky.

Yet another sign

As seen on the front window of the office building where I work.

First frost

Tiles

In Memory

A leaf that had fallen on one of those brick memorial sidewalks.

Morning Dew

Early Fall Sunrise

Gotta love those nice fall mornings.

Clouds over Taco Bell

A couple of signs

I thought somebody killed the electric car? You just don't see many of them today ... especially enough to have their own parking spots. At least there's a convenient power outlet on the wall for the electric car. Actually, this is a leftover sign on a building that used to be used by the power company. I just thought it seemed funny.
I also saw the sign below at a library. It for some reason just struck me as funny. No "light" studying allowed, I guess.

Zucchini and Squash

Misty Morning

There was some pretty heavy fog out this morning, which made for a cool looking sunrise.


I also grabbed the photo below a little later. It's the fog in the trees at Central Park in Ashland, Ky.

Full Moon

Beautiful full moon last night. It was so bright at one point, it looked like a light was on outside our house.

Awww.... nuts

This guy was hanging around feasting on our dinner leftovers at Central Park in Ashland on Wednesday.

Mercedes

Not my car ... I tinted the photo blue because I liked the effect better.

Toy Story cake

My wife goes all out when it comes to our kids' birthday cakes. Here's her latest creation. It's Andy's bed from the Toy Story movies. The bed itself is four layers of cake and the painting on the fondant icing is done with food coloring. The headboard and footboard are made of chocolate and the blocks are rice krispie squares with icing on them. The rug next to the bed is also made with fondant icing.

Ghost Roasters

I shot this Saturday night using a 15 second exposure. It's some kids around a stove roasting marshmallows. What I thought was neat was the light coming from the top that's lighting the grassy area above the wall. It looks like sunlight, but it's actually just from a street light. I sat the camera on a short wall, and the ghostly images come from the kids moving in and out of the frame during the exposure time.

Inside Rainbow

This is from the bouns room in our house. There was a CD laying upside down on the desk, and the sun reflecting through the skylight made this cool rainbow effect on the wall.
