hunting for fall

It's fall in Orlando, but to me it's not obvious. You have to look closely. It's sort of like playing "Where's Waldo" when you have to search and search until you finally find that red cap. Yeah, it's sort of like that here. A and I decided to hunt for fall yesterday, and we actually found "it." Leaves. From deciduous trees. And, they were colorful! Beautiful, in a haunting way.

that face

This little face makes me laugh and makes me cry. I guess I've been feeling sort of Eeyore-ish lately. Parenting is just one of those jobs where you never know if you're doing it right or not. Lately, I've felt like I'm walking around in the dark with a flashlight trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing. I'm becoming more OK with my own confusion, but it's sure not fun. Maybe that's why I love photography. Are you following my stream-of-consciousness processing here? Somehow taking beautiful images is sort of like capturing a glimpse of eternity for me. A picture of how life was meant to be. Great photography reminds me of how beautiful God is. I do believe in God, and belive that He is good, even when life is confusing. What everyday things inspire you to think of what is eternal?

I've been using a lot of Ginnie's actions lately. At only $20 for her set of 8, they're a great deal. In the previous post I used her "Vintage Black and White." These photos were processed using "Mocha."
