Buttrflies
This month "October" has really missed me up having 5 Wed, Thur, & Friday in it. I've gotten some of my meetings on the wrong day. Last night I went to my AOPC meeting but it was last week and it also missed up my eye appointment witch was also last week. Who Knows--Whats Next
Head to Petit Jean State Park. I saw some photos on "Facebook" that a friend of mine took last week. He said he felt like they would still be there so I thought I would head that way. The next two weeks are going to be such a busy time for me and not much of it will have anything to do with photography. Wish me luck I will be in the Wilderness most of the next two weeks hopefully I will have a little time to get the camera out. Fall Colors are here. Enjoy---I am.

Acorns
Its a beautiful day and if you don't believe me just look outside. The trees are starting to turn. The acorns are falling so heavy and hard that you would have terrible pain if you got hit by one on your head or elsewhere on your body. My husband always said that when acorns cover the ground like this it meant a harsh winter. Animals know to store lots of acorns because they are going to be in their dens for a long time.
There is this cute little squirrel (rather fat & plump squirrel) that sets on my deck rails and just eats away --he doesn't have a care in the world-just enjoying the moment. Wouldn't it be nice to be like that--carefree.
This weekend we drove down to Star City to check out this place call "The Village" ran and operated by the Amish. They have a very nice operation going. We found a "Book Store, Toy Store, Auto Garage, 3 Restaurants which do open until 5pm, etc. The main reason I went was to see if we thought the Pioneers at church would want to go and I think they would enjoy seeing it.
The other thing I wanted to see was if there was any color just yet and there was not much as a matter of fact very little Two weeks ago I went up towards Clarksville just see how much color was there and it had just barely started-- hardly any at all. Just this past week, I heard that the color up in the northern part of the state is not there yet either. We are defiantly having a late fall. We are suppose to go to Devils Den at the beginning of Nov. to see the fall color but I'm afraid that its not going to be there. Devils Den is totally booked from now to sometime late Nov. Lots of folks like to hike and that is the best place to go for hiking.
Well I must get off this and on to some other things I need to get done today. I'm trying to learn Lightroom 5. I know that once I learn it I will never go to another program that's why I working on it so hard. Its a very organized program and that's what I want.
Ya'll have fun over the next few weeks and hopefully I'll will see you out in the "Wilderness".

Getting Started
I know I haven't done much writing or posting of photos lately but I hoping that changes. Its been a very busy Summer and it looks like the Fall is going to be that way too. While reading some notes from my AOPC club I found this. "Dailies" by Dewitt Jones He said to dedicate yourself to a regimented program and gifts may just seem to come your way" You know I do not know why I did not think of that before. I a very organized person normally, heck, folks fuss at me all the time because of it. This whole past 5 months has been crazy; I can't seem to complete anything and there never seems to be time for anything I want to do. I must start caring my camera with me more. I took my niece to the Mt. Ida fair but did I take my camera "NO" I thought it would be to much to haul around. Saw several things I would have liked to have taken pictures of but couldn't. On his website he shows a piece of wooden fence that with a little photoshop looks pretty good. I have wooden fences around me every where I go but have I taken a picture of it "NO". There are beautiful things all around us if we would just open our eyes and look at them. We just need to slow down and look at things. I plan to get out in the "Wilderness and change my routine and "SEE" what is out in front of me or around me. Hope to see you in the Wilderness.
