It was a spectacular Autumn this year as evinced by my neighbor's tree.

The Posse

Just for fun: While my wife and I were photographing this particular ranch, we soon got the feeling that we were unwelcome. The cows of said ranch moved menacingly toward us as if to say what the "F" are you doing.

Rose of Blue

More Autumn Reverie

Autumn Rose

Because of the lingering warm weather, the roses have stayed spectacular this year. This one is from my front yard. My mother would have been proud.

Mitchell

The "little guy" has seen it all and maintained well. He has been a constant source of joy and comfort in the hard times and a good companion not only to me and my wife but to his bigger, younger brother Addison. He is from an interesting breed known simply as "rat terrier." Here's to you Mitch!!! Images by Heidi Christeson. Digital darkroom by J. Charles Heinlein

Would Smell as Sweet

By Any Other Name

Again, the beauty of Autumn in the Sierras.

Autumn Expressions

My wife suggested I capture this image. As usual we had some words about a waste of time. The only waste were the words I spoke.

Stream

Another trip to Hope Valley yielded this happy accident. A shot that was supposed to catch the stream instead caught the leaves nearest to me leaving the water with a soft "bokeh" effect.
