fall scenes

its been awhile since I had a chance to just get in the car and wonder

 taking all the back roads and finding the best photo opportunities

---

a few weeks ago I planned a weekend trip to

prince edward county

I have only every been once and that was a long time ago

it has grown significantly in the past decade

featuring over 20 wineries

b&b's, antiques, arts and crafts

and wonderful sceneries

perfect timing, coming back from a tasting

just as the sun was setting

I would love to find out who hung this door!!

lots of barns

we only managed to visit 2 wineries

only because we had such a wonderful time

wondering the properties and taking photos

and of course enjoying a glass of wine

picture perfect

i can take photos all day long and find a few that i'm happy with

last sunday the conditions where wonderful

a stormy sky, fall colors. and soft lighting

as i drove back home along hwy 7 i came around a soft bend in the road

and there it was the "perfect setting|"

for a second i thought "damn i should stop......no time, i've been out all day

next time......no , when will there be a next time, and will it be this good??

i quickly did a U turn and got this shot

and glad i took the extra time to enjoy the scenery

barn quest

someone asked if i had any photos of barns

which sent me on a quest to rifle through thousands of photos

to find some of my favorites

i must get a shot in the fall
