Pumpkin Hunting 2009 And The Girls Playing in The Leaves
The girls had their costumes on and we had a need for some leaf raking anyway, good photo ops. I don’t think I had a shot with the dogs in it yet. Welcome to the shots doggies.
The other ones were when Tanner and Lydia came over for the festive occasion and we spun out to the pumpkin patch to pick our own for the Toivola Pumpkin carving party. I carved a fairly shotty Patrick, Spongebob’s best buddy…
Our Cabin on The Little Blackfoot Near Elliston, MT - 2009
We’ve had THIS cabin for my entire life but I haven’t been to in much since moving to Seattle, maybe 2 or 3 times in the past 10 years at best. We seem to be gaining land as the creek has eaten into the opposite shore over that time. It’s amazing how fast it can change the contour of the land in that short amount of time. We played a lot of lawn darts, shot a lot of target practice with a laundry list of guns, road a million miles on snowmobiles, hiked, caught loads of fish and buried a few animals (Toby is buried HERE, and FatCat is HERE).
It’s funny to think back to what we did before this technology age; there was always “something” to do there. We were always excited to get to go to the cabin for the weekend…
I’ve always been a fan of the “Aged” look of a photo, and the memories here certainly take me back - I couldn’t decide on what I liked more so I whipped up one with a bit more time to it. They both make me miss Montana a little bit…
Inside The Old Fig - Daintree, Australia
We were walking through the Daintree rainforest with our guide and this tree really caught my eye. Most of them do this, they wind around and eat the inside of the same tree to grow the “vines” longer. This was an interesting angle I thought of it - Good color, interesting composition…
Old Truck Overgrown With Bushes
I half hesitated to even put this one on - HDR always looks good with old rust and tall grass. The color has so many different colors for the grass. However, this is a pseudo-HDR as I took in in RAW format, but just did tone-mapping on it. What’s that you say? It looks blurry? Yea, that’s because it was. I’m a bit upset with the way it turned out because I didn’t use a tripod because we were on someone elses land. Still “alright”, but that’s all I give it, personally…
