Happy Halloween!

Here are a couple of the latest additions to our halloween decorations. These were taken near sunset, so they have a warm cast to them.
This little witch greets all of our trick-or-treaters. My yellow mums look a little sad - I guess they don't like the colder weather we're having!

Lots of texture . . .

These were taken with my 60mm macro lens. I just love the texture and the pink & green in nature!

Wedding Words . . .

We attended my cousins son's (my 2nd cousin??) wedding outside of Sacramento a couple of weeks ago. The wedding ceremony was beautiful, the bride was gorgeous (groom too!), and the weather was perfect! I can understand why so many people want to live in California - beautiful weather and the scenery isn't bad either! We had the best time visiting with relatives we hadn't seen for years!

Chocolate wedding cake with mint mousse filling & white chocolate ganache . . .
Gorgeous flower arrangements . . .

Wilderness Park

I felt like taking photos this past weekend even though the weather was gray and gloomy. These were shot at a wooded park area between rain showers. I did not do any hiking, biking or horseback riding while I was there, just photo shooting! I'll have to go back on a nicer day for some biking.
