Autumn leaves



This is a picture that I actually took last year. I haven't really gotten a chance to get out and take any foliage pictures this year. This was a tree outside the Butler County Library.

Make sure you look at the large version - I love the highlighted detail on the end of the leaf. As Bob Ross would say, that was a happy little accident. haha

Blogging, Take No. 3

Alright, here goes my third attempt at blogging. Number two went better than the first time around, but I'm going to take a little different approach now.

Since I rarely have blog-worthy things happen to me, I'm going to try to post some interesting pictures that I take every now and then. Hopefully I won't be too long between updates.

It's also going to take me a little while to get this thing customized like I want it, so there may be some layout or visual changes in the upcoming days and months.

Anyway, let's get this thing started with the picture from my banner up there.



I was at Wal-Mart one night around the beginning of summer (I want to say it was either the end of May or the first of June), when I stepped out into the parking lot and saw the sky lighting up to the south.

There was a thunderstorm brewing, and even though it was clear here, you could see lightning streaking through this cloud. I happened to have my camera with me, so I jumped into my car and drove to the middle of nowhere down Manningham Loop to see if I could get a picture.

The above picture is my best one, but I also like the one below. It almost looks like the reflection of trees on water, but that's just the top of my car. haha I didn't have a tripod, so I improvised by putting the camera on the roof of my car.



You should be able to click on these pictures to view a larger version. (Edit: This isn't working like I want it to... I'll get this fixed when I have a chance to play around with it.)

Thanks for visiting, and I'll have to see what I can dig up for my next post.
