I cast a long shadow on an autumn afternoon. Impressive, considering I’m 5′2″ tall.

I’m also happy to have chalked up a few more themes on my walk today with the newly fixed camera…

I was so intent on the ladybug against this red berry/fruit that I didn’t notice the fly until I brought the photo into Photoshop Elements.

I muted the colors and then brought back some of  the red and orange around the ladybug.

Shades of gray and white – and blue – for this feather in the wind.

My neighbor’s wind chimes make a pleasant sound in the breeze.

I got my camera back and took it out for a walk today!

I took a short video so you could hear the music of the chimes, too.

These are some of the organizations that meet in our town. It was kind of hard to pick a photo that characterizes Auburn, MA, so I chose this one with the view of a crossroad behind the sign.

Auburn is divided by two highways that intersect in our town with major interchanges. Auburn has rural farmland, suburban condos, and a major shopping mall. We’re right next to a big city, but have a small town government. Unlike other New England towns, we have no geographical town common where people and businesses congregate.

This sign is located at the commercial heart of the town, at the entrance to the mall and the public library.

Controls on an old water heater are perfect for a grungy HDR photo.

The bittersweet climbs a fence at Overlook Farm and provides some bright orange color to enliven the landscape.
