Been a loooong time since I last posted. Like I've mentioned before, many of of my thoughts haven't gotten to the writing down phase.
This summer I challenged myself by going out and taking photos every day if possible. Sometimes I missed a day or two, but generally I kept to my goal. I've been uploading my favorites through flickr.
Autumn I planned to continue my goal that I set in the spring/early summer. Have I stuck to it? Not as well. Seems MN has been getting slammed with some really unseasonably cold weather, not to mention cloudy and rainy. On the news they stated this may possibly be a record cold October with the average high being only about 40 something degrees, much lower than the average highs in the 60's.
Already we've had two snowfalls. In a way I feel kind of cheated. Was looking to shoot a bunch of firey trees with full autumn color. (ideally with blue sky as a backdrop.) Well that didn't happen most of October so far.
Ash trees have already shed their leaves. They dumped them after the first snow on the 10th without even fully changing. Some maples have done about the same. Featured here is the 2nd snowfall from October 12th. As much as I hate to admit it, the snow created some of the most awesome dramatic autumn shots I've taken so far. That is if I can call it "autumn". Seems quite a confused mash-up of seasons, with most trees still in their "summer" colors.
On a side note now that I finally figured out how to get a post on here using flickr, I hope to post more often.
