Autumn Splendor for Thanksgiving


Hi All,

It's been a while since I posted but I'm back and ready to go. We've just come home from a long weekend with our sons and spent Thanksgiving with them. Turkey and dressing, sweet potatoes and pumkin pie, oh my... I can hardly move. I should have jogged at least halfway back home. It will take me from now until Christmas to burn up all the calories from this weekend. But, what a wonderful meal and what fun to be with our sons, their wives and our grandchildren.
This is one of our boys home in the heart of the Ottawa Valley. The colours were spectacular and I honestly didn't know which way to point the camera. As you can see the house is nestled in among the maples. These are the same maples which provide us with the honest to goodness of maple syrup, come spring. Below was a view of the field across from his house.
It so happened to be my birthday on Monday and my son and his wife gave me a brand new camera. Being totally mechanically and computer illiterate, I'm having a hard time figuring it all out. This thing even takes videos. Looks like I'm going to have to take photography 101. (*LOL*) Not to be outdone my other son who owns his own computer business is building mom her own personal computer. Specs are to be "VERY" simple with lots of memory, and no bells and whistles. :c))

We passed many beautiful places and so may scenic sites but couldn't stop at every one and shooting going 55 miles an hour is not recomemded photography if you want nice clear pictures. I tried to take some out the window and got these kaleidoscopic blurs. Pretty but not pretty enough for publication.This was taken in a little village that was so picturesque, you could almost say it was enchanting . I got a novel idea for turkeys that someone put together from hay bales.
What a pretty little church!

I could go on and on but I just haven't the space. here for all the pictures I took. I'm now going to make supper and then spend the evening catching up on all my favourite blogs.

Talk to you all soon.

Until then.....
