Autumn leaves

posted by Babs on Wednesday, 21 October 2009

Just a few Autumn photos I took last week.  We were collecting conkers again.  If you look closely you can see some that we couldn’t reach.

You can click to enlarge them a bit,  for better quality.

I hope to be back blogging very soon.

    Babs, I really wish I could take professional quality photos. It takes me a hundred shots to get one right. I’m allowed to blame the camera, right?

    We’ll keep your seat warm for ya. Blog when you feel like it and not a moment sooner.

    Hi Babs ! Had to look-up “conkers” to find out what they were !
    Glad you see that you are well. :-)

    I was going to add a video comment but the button doesn’t seem to work !

    Actually we play conkers even though I live in Wisconsin… I found out about it a couple years ago. I forgot how- but there is a tree next to my kids school where we collect them. It’s actually a pretty tough game- some of my children don’t like to play for fear of getting slammed with a conker in the face. Here something fun to know- one of the guys from Monty Python is a champion conker player- but I can’t remember who?

    These are just beautiful.

    I hope you’re finding some solace in photography and being out in the beautiful autumn weather.

    No rush coming back. We’ll be here.

    Autumn is so beautiful. The explosion of the colors. I like it very much. And your photos confirm my words. But the second is so interesting. The central figure seems to a special fable animal.

    Babs:

    Absolutely beautiful pictures, but I don’t think I’ve ever had a conker. Do they taste good?

    happy trails.

    I had to really laugh at your comment Swubird. I think you might get a serious tummy ache if you ate conkers. They are not eaten, but we use them in a game called ‘Conkers’ – of course.

    Beautiful autumn pics, Babs. And I’m glad I know what conckers are. At least I think – from the first picture. We call them buckeyes around here :)

    I have NO idea what a Conker is, but I hope you found some!

    Well, I was going to blame the fact that I didn’t know what conkers were on being American, but since someone before me claims they play it in Wisconsin, I’ll have to think up another excuse.

    I wish I could take as good of pictures as you. Autumn looks so clean and cool and crisp.

    Babs, beautiful pictures. We play conkers with acorns when we can’t find these.

    I love that second picture! Beautiful!
