I am taking liberties with my blog title. I so love autumn, and I have been going on photo shoots every few days. I have really witnessed falls’ colors transform before my very eyes, and it’s not over yet.
As I blogged last, our first foray was a vacation to Colonial Williamsburg. A few colors were peeking out. While focusing on a photo essay on colonial life, I took frequent breaks to check out the local wildlife. I spent my days learning the birds’ habits. I was out at the magic hours just before sunset and just after sunrise. My photo of the mockingbird and swan attest to my success in capturing these creatures. I have added both to my new bird gallery. I also surprised a skunk. Unfortunately he surprised me too, and I did not get a good photo of him or her.
Next up was the Shenandoah National Park. Wow! That’s an understatement of the beauty there. It was a first, and we arrived and left before peak color and before the crowds. You can view some lonely roads in my new autumn gallery. The mountains were spectacular. A view of the Blue Ridge at sunset is included in my nature and wildlife gallery. I shot photos at sunset, sunrise, and all hours in between. And we were only there for 24 hours! I also captured photos of the abundant deer. Very sweet(when they aren’t eating my garden flowers).
Finally my new photos include another first trip. This time to Bombay Hook in Delaware. Here the fall was showing in the wetlands. The weather ran the gamut from poring down rain to blue skies and sun peeking through. The weather gave me a chance to shoot for over six hours. You can view some stormy photos, autumn colors and much wildlife. My personal favorite was of a Great Blue Heron taking flight. There are two pictures of that bird. You can see those photos in my nature and wildlife gallery or autumn colors or birds galleries!
Next up is Harper’s Ferry and the C&O Canal at Great Falls. I will be sharing those photos in the next few weeks. Stay tuned. But for now take a peek and enjoy the fall colors!
