26 October 2009 Photo(s): Ghosts On Parade At Green Lakes

So bear with me since there are many pictures on today's post...I got out of the house yesterday afternoon and headed to one of the NY State Parks. I also finished the ghost cakepops early this morning so I felt I needed to include them in here as well.

Bill and I went out to Green Lakes to check out the fall colors as it was a beautiful sunny Sunday. It is a great place to go hiking but since I couldn't do much hiking, I hobbled down to the lake for a bit and then we drove around and stopped on the side of the road so I could take some photographs. The tree pictures that look like someone was laying on the ground to take the pictures were our attempt of couple photography. I saw the picture I wanted but since I was unable to get on the ground to snap it, I metered the picture and set Bill up in the position I thought would get the shot I wanted. He did a great job! I love them and thanks to Bill for laying down on the wet leaves!

And the Halloween cakepops are FINALLY done. The ghosts are cute and as each time I have made these, I learn something new that would make it easier. If you want a cakepop, come on by to visit.

1 July 2009 Photo: Color vs Black and White

I couldn't decide on color or black and white for today's photo so I am putting both up. You decide! We have grapes growing in the yard for the 2nd year. They have some sort of critter or fungus but they are interesting to watch grow! I will have to do some research before next summer to see if I can figure out how to really cultivate them properly.

I also found out that I have the kind of grapes leaves on this plant used to make stuffed grapes leaves. I have memories of my grandmother making these stuffed leaves and was very confused as a child. I would never eat them because she was going and picking leaves off a tree and I knew that was just crazy! Leaves were for bugs to eat not me! Ahhh the things you just don't understand as a child!
