Autumn splendor and surprise

Posted on November 4, 2014

Something came up, like getting time to spend with my DH for another week, so I won’t be in Blogosphere this week. A few more days unplugged from the net will do this gal good.  You ought to try it!

Do you remember Price Lake on the Blue Ridge Parkway? While enjoying time with DH this month, I photographed it again. The fall foliage was more glorious than before! Here’s a picture from a different vantage point. One minute, I’m snapping away getting this picture

and just as I turned around to get in the car this is what I see. My husband shouts, “Shoot! Shoot, now!”

What a nice surprise! I’m not an action photographer. I think I was a little stunned, as a blend of excitement and panic set in. In the rapid session, I fired three or four shots. I was thinking if I get one picture that isn’t blurry I’d be a happy girl (as it turned out I got two that weren’t bad), but the sense that gripped me as we pulled away was the thrill of the experience. Now, that was a lot of fun!

Sending a round of applauds and cheers to this week’s featured photographer…

    Wow, you have seen and “shot” the deers! It’s an especially gift…
    Yeah, I should sometimes be offline again for a few weeks too, but then I am also not here with my links 😉
    I think it often, but I’m don’t really (by the way, I’m an autistic woman and the Internet is my only way to have contacts)
