I take a lot of pictures. A lot! I love capturing the moment and having memories to look at over the years. I have been filling photo books since I was in middle school (which should make the 10 years ago photo interesting) that are stuffed with pictures of everything. People, animals, landscapes, monuments, candids, family photos, blurry images and times when I tried to be "artsy." I just love taking pictures. I am always the one with the camera in hand ready to capture the moment. And then I share them with others and may even send you copies if you were involved.
How would I ever pick one picture among all those thousands of images I have snapped over the years? So I decided to just focus on the last few months. And since this is a private blog, pictures that don't include people I know. I didn't want to do one of the girls because I take tons of pictures of them and could never pick just one that I thought was perfect. So that leaves my landscape photos.
I love taking pictures of trees and nature and sunsets. Surprisingly enough for someone who doesn't enjoy nature that much (well, I don't enjoy being in it all the time, nature doesn't like me an awful lot) I sure do take lots and lots of picture of nature things. Trees especially. Something about a good tree hits me in the soul. And the ocean. I have a connection with the ocean that I can't break. It's ingrained in my being. Someday I will live near it again.
So I couldn't pick just one...of course. I picked three.
This is a tree near my parents house in Massachusetts that was in full Autumn colors this past October when we went to visit. I adore the colors in the fall and couldn't resist snapping a picture of this beauty.
These are the redwoods in Sonoma County outside of San Francisco. I had never seen a redwood tree before and could not get over the majesty and beauty of these behemoths. And these aren't even the big ones! The picture looked so serene and special I blew it up and hung it in my bedroom. I took this on our trip to San Francisco last June.
The sunset up on Mount Charleston this past September. I have taken a lot of sunset pictures with brilliant reds and oranges streaming across the sky. But the cool blues and purples really caught my eye with this one.
