#WW Autumn splendor and surprise

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…

Congratulations,  Lisa!  Now, please be a deer by showing some love by visiting her quaint blog home Sweet Tea N’ Salty Air and leave a sweet comment letting her know that I sent you over.

Just a reminder, each week I use random.org to pick a new photographer. I would like the opportunity to put your blog on display. To win a chance in the spotlight, then join the linky party below with your photographic wonder URL.

Thank you for making me a part of your day. Today’s photos are a contribution on several of these fine Wordless Wednesday communities.   Please leave your comments footprints so that I know you came and I will hop over to your place soon. Have a foto-tastic day!
