Happy Monday!

It’s been a while since my last post.  Nothing wrong, just a lot going on.  I did go on a photo run Saturday and got some nice fall scenes.  I even ran into Jessica Riley, who is a photographer for the Telegraph Herald.   More on that in a later post.

Last evening we went over to Angie and Ben’s for dinner.  Mark and Taylor were in town and I hadn’t seen any of them for some time.  On the way over I saw this tree against the setting sun.  I love to take silhouette images against an interesting sky.

We had a wonderful time with the kids.  Ben and Angie are such gracious hosts and it is always a treat to get to see Josh and Gabby.  As soon as I sat down Gabby grabbed her favorite book, “The Hungry Caterpillar” and brought it over to me.  I love reading books to the kids and watching them pick out colors and objects in the book.  🙂

This is the only shot of Josh I got for the evening.  He does not want me to take his picture and I had to bribe him to let me get this one.  He loves to push the test button on my speed light and if I let him do it he will pose.

I told him he could push it three times if I could take his picture with Gabby.  He said, “How about 4” and I said okay and then he came back with “maybe 5.”  The kid drives a hard bargain but I agreed.  🙂

I have my cataract surgery today.  It was originally scheduled for this morning but got pushed back until 1:00 p.m. this afternoon.   Doesn’t give me as much recovery time as a morning procedure but it’s all good.

That’s it for today.  Hope you enjoy your day.  I’m looking forward to being able to see without all the fogginess.  🙂

Thanks for stopping by and be careful.
