It's All About the Shapes.........

Over the weekend, I realized that when I take photographs, I often look for the shapes in my surroundings.   I walk around looking at things that most others don't:  The negative space working with a piece of architecture, the way items work with (or against) each other to make interesting composites.  Yes, I often miss the shopping experience because I'm outside with my camera, but it's what I enjoy.

So without further ado, here are some images from a joyous weekend that allowed me to enjoy both the company of my fabulous friends and the fun of creating my own style of art with my camera.........

Halloween's right around the corner.......

There's a chill in the air, the days are getting shorter and the leaves are quickly changing color.  Halloween is just around the corner, and these photos reflect the feeling of the season:

Baskets of squash at the open air market.

My dentist appointment today!

I'm just teasing.  It was painless:)

That's it for tonight.  I'm really not ready for Halloween or the cold weather, but both are on the way whether I like it or not.  So time to get out the coats, gloves, and scarves and dig in for another Ohio winter :(

Oh well.  Think spring!!!!

Until next time.......

Don't forget to look up at the sky!

Some blogs that are featuring my photos.......

I found that my photos have been featured in two other blogs today:

Please click on this first blog: tapestry 316, then come right back. 

This is the blog of Etsy seller Kathy, who informed me on her blog that I had won an ACEO from the "Odd Angles Blog to Blog Treasure Hunt."  It was really fun to look at the participating blogs and....... I can't believe I won!  (In case you were wondering, an ACEO is defined as "Art Cards, Editions and Originals.")
Be sure and stop by Kathy's Etsy shop, too, by clicking here.

The photo featured in this blog can be found in my Etsy shop here.
