October 13, 2006 - Sandstone Falls
Cold and frosty this morning but moderated some during the day. I made my southern run through the state today. It wouldn't seem right if I didn't stop by Sandstone Falls while I was in the area. The falls are so wide and there are so many cascades, a person could spend all day shooting at all the angles. This is one of those cascades.

October 12, 2006 - Autumn on the Farm
Big storms last night and dropping temps today. Down in the upper 40's today with frost predicted tonight. Since the weather was rather blustery today, I stayed rather close to home. I spotted this barn just across the hill from where my sister-in-law grew up.

October 11, 2006 - Barn on Milo Road
Intermittent showers today. Expecting heavy rains this afternoon. Because of the weather, I stayed closer to home. I had driven by this barn a hundred times but never really looked at it until today. I thought the black and white suited it.

October 10, 2006 - Bald Eagle
Another gorgeous day today. Sunny and temps near 80. I made a pass through the central part of the state today, and stopped at the West Virginia Wildlife Refuge Center near French Creek. It was the first time I had been there since I was a boy. This majestic creature was one of the residents.

October 9, 2006 - Blackwater Falls
After morning fog, a beautiful day in the upper 70's. Lots of fall color in the mountains, as I went to Canaan Valley and Blackwater Falls State Parks today. As you can see, we had a good amount of rain over the weekend, and plenty of water in the falls.

October 8, 2006 - Madison on the Hot Rod
Warmer and bright sunshine today. I had a very busy today all day, but got a chance to take a few shots of Madison while she was playing outside.

October 7, 2006 - Song Sparrow
Intermittent clouds and sun today, and cool. I just had a few minutes this afternoon to walk around, but happened to see the song sparrows eating berries. So I got up close enough to shoot this one. Not quite as crisp as I would want it, but I had to do a little cropping on it.

October 6, 2006 - Dogwood Leaves
Cool, damp and cloudy today. I was looking at the berries on the dogwood tree when I saw these twin leaves. I like the texture and colors.

October 5, 2006 - Sentinel
Storms last night and rain into the morning. Now just mostly cloudy. Temps near 70 with high humidity. I got my new 70-300mm lens yesterday and just got the opportunity to try it out this morning. I caught this little guy on watch as I was walking by.

October 4, 2006 - Summit Lake
Very warm and sunny today with a breeze blowing most of the day. I got to make a trip to the southern mountains today and shot this one at Summit Lake. As can be seen, the leaves are definitely turning.

October 3, 2006 - Morning and it's glories
Cool morning but expecting it to get quite warm this afternoon. A little breeze persisting, making it difficult to get an macro shots. But I did get this one in all its glory.

October 2, 2006 - A new one still blooming
Very warm and sunny today. Temps near 80. I was about to come back to the office today when I spotted this one. It must have just come out in bloom since the end of last week. Flower days are numbered now. Only one frost away from them being gone.
