365 - Yes, an Image a Day

I can do that. Something new every day, right?

Okay, so this year I am going to do it, and if I'm on vacation it might just be snap from my phone. I guess we will see how it goes.  I've gotten off to a good start.  Okay, well, that is, once I got started.  I started off the 2013 sick and in bed, so I ended up posting late.  But see what I've done so far! (more info at end...)

So, you many have noticed that some photos look like they were taken on the same day, or in the past.  That is why I'm calling it an Image a day, as a photo a day makes one think of an photo taken that day and that is not exactly what I'm going to do.  I have so much on my computer that I have simply downloaded and never got back to that I need something to motivate me and get this stuff out there. Some days I will take new photos and process them all in one day, sometimes I may just go back to my archives and find something I've been wanting to process, sometimes I may just play around with layers and textures for something fun, and others I may just post something fun from my phone camera.  I'm planning on blogging about the progress I am making in this, so you can come back here every week or so and see what's new or you can follow my 365 set on Flickr at LJLongfellow Photography 365.

I Can't Get Enough of Those Leaves

Fall at Springton Manor Farm

 If the season of Autumn visits you where you live, and you are anything like me, fall is you most favorite time of year.  It's a wonderful season of bounty and beauty, the time when my garden is giving me so many tomato that I can't keep up with them.  Back to school, the fall festivals and Halloween keep family's joyfully busy.  And that fresh crisp air that comes, cooling the evenings.  The worst thing about fall is that I know winter is on its way.  Being from Florida, winter is not my favorite season. But it is the trade off of living somewhere that I get to truly enjoy the colors of the fall season.  

Autumn Reds, Springton Manor Farm

Here are some of my favorite fall images. The first two were taken in Pennsylvania at Springton Manor Farm. This county park is also a working farm today and a great place to visit if you are ever in the area.  The next two aspen photos were taking in the mountains above Santa Fe, New Mexico. When the aspens are changing it seems like everyone goes up the mountain to hike in the beauty.  The last one was taken in southwestern Colorado while on a camping trip. I made my husband put the camper over as soon as I saw it. The light, tree, and clouds were perfect.

Most of these available as prints in my Etsy shop, LJLongfellow Fine Art Photograpy:

Spring Cherry Blossoms

Spring Cherry Blossoms Set of 4

I just love spring!

I love winter just up until after the first snow, and then I get tired of being cold.

Spring can be windy, the weather can be rainy or clear,  hot or cold, but either way things are looking up and summer is on its way.

One of my most favorite things about spring is my yard.  It is one of the reasons we decided to purchase our home. We first looked at it in early spring and the ornamental cherry tree was in full bloom, there were also small tulips blooming and a beautiful lilac about to bloom. The pink blossoms of the cherry tree are the first thing you see in the court yard if you visit my home in spring. I love it! Its beauty each spring just make me smile and the shade from its branches the rest of summer creates it a cool and relaxing space. It is a great space to your coffee in the AM, or sit and read as my daughter plays outside. 

For this post I thought I might share some of this beauty with you!

Hope you have the most wonderful day!
