Photo Friday

So, I got it into my head to do something for Fridays too...so...Photo Fridays.  I'm normally all about the alliteration, but...well, I'm also all about spelling and I can't bring myself to spell 'photo' without the 'ph', so...it's...yeah.

Anyway, please enjoy these pictures of my "backyard".

Note, it's not actually my backyard, but it's still within a five minute drive of my house, so that counts.

Pics by me, unless noted otherwise.

A beautiful mountain lake.  Also the background for the top graphic thing with the words on.

It's a good, quiet spot to sit and contemplate life.  Also where I got married, so...yeah.  Very tranquil.  Late evening is the best time for lack of other people, worst time for bugs.  It's a trade off.  

Axe in Firewood

So, this one has a humorous backstory in which I was trying to get a "noble woodsman" shot of my brother chopping wood.  Which wasn't working...I guess he's just one of those awkward people who don't photograph well (sorry, bro).

Anyway, after I took this, I told him I'd taken the perfect "noble woodsman" shot and showed it to him, and we all had a good laugh.  

And for a writer, my anecdotes suck.  

In any event - those red trees in the background are what happens when pine beetles eat your trees.  It's not actually Fall yet.
