The sound of silence...

It has been a little while since my last post. I've been working *promise*... With the end of wedding season approaching I am striving to get caught up before wedding planning season goes into full swing. Besides the Stone Mountain Lodge show I am also promoting at the Sunset Event Center show in Fort Collins, CO, updating my website to be a new blog based interface and launching a knot.com ad campaign. I've been keeping with my 365 depsite being sicker than a dog this last week...

I can't leave without sharing some images, let me pick up where I left off.


11/365 ~ "We did not change as we grew older; we just became more clearly ourselves." - Lynn Hall

Fall is here and the last of the leaves are falling off the trees. For the last couple of days I have been struck by the beauty of the leaves on one particular tree. Until today I just hadn't had the time to stop and photograph them. With a new lens and a lazy Sunday I could think of no better time...


12/365 ~ “This is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.” - Winston Churchill

I became a little sad today. With the passing of the summer and the onset of fall wedding season is nearing the end. I still have a few things in the works but believe it or not I miss the crazy never take a breath cant get caught up dizziness of it all. Its funny I went out on photo safari for my 365 and came across this flower that says it just perfectly.


13/365 ~ "I often think that the night is more alive and more richly colored than the day." - Vincent Van Gogh

As the last daylight slipped over the horizon I completed my photo for today.


14/365 ~ " “I lived in solitude in the country and noticed how the monotony of a quiet life stimulates the creative mind” - Albert Einstein

Its funny now that I live in the "country" I seem to have collected more flower photos than one would know what to do with. On a side note in Windy Wyoming do you know how hard it was to take this? Never once did this beauty hold still...


16/365 ~ "Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence.” - Henry David Thoreau

I visited this same driveway before fall. I must say its much better now... Taken in Fort Collins, CO.


17/365 ~ "Learn the wisdom of compromise, for it is better to bend a little than to break” - Jane Wells

Taken in a field next to #16 in this series. I was really trying to focus on getting right mix of creamy bokeh in the background.
