Chevy's Photographs for August 2007!
Thanks Clarence for your helping me in editing the photo. I love your modifications and hope that Henri will allow me to resubmit this one instead. I recently downloaded the free Google Picasa program and love it for it's ease of use. I still have to figure out how to remove things like the car. Thanks again for your help!
(What can I meow! Naturally I had to let Clarence's alterations be published! If I refused, I would be considered a "bad cat"! Just because he knows how to do that sort of thing and I don't.........)
I loved the August topic of dog-days and passages as August is indeed a passage from Summer to Autumn here in Upstate NY. Did you know that anytime after Labor Day there can be a killing frost here? Makes me very happy that my humans have provided me with warm dwellings.
I've looked and thought long about subjects worthy for this month's assignment.
My first two photos are of the arches in a nearby winery, Casa Larga. I like the first one because there's a lot of color with the plants and how the arches are echoed in the shadows. I like the second one with the window arch being echoed in the porch arches and it's perspective of diminishing arches. Unfortunately, the sun was too high in the sky to give brilliant color to the sky and any earlier wouldn't have given me enough light and it was very humid.
My third shot just echoes the dog-days of summer. My dog friends, Duke and Duchess, are a bit camera shy but they did include me in an outing to their favorite tree. This tree is at least 200-300 years old if not more (my human was told that it was seen in a picture of the church that she works at that was taken 160 years ago and it was a huge tree even then!). It took me many cat-steps to go around it. Check out the picture. After a lovely nap, I woke up and looked at the sky and took the picture that I would like to submit...I call it "Dog-days of Summer"!
Chevy's Photographs for September 2007!
My first photo is a picture of grapes. Grapes, apples, pears, and other fall produce are considered fall flowers here. This picture was taken at a local winery. My second photo is of a church.
Chevy's Photographs for October 2007!
I've always been impressed with Clarence's astronomy photographs and thought I would enjoy this unusually warm fall weather that we are having and see if I could find anything worthy of photographing. Just around the corner I found some new friends. They are a cheerful bunch but not very talkative. They were very willing to pose for me. I think that they were professional models as they didn't move a muscle while I set up my camera and fumbled with the unfamiliar night setting. A step proved most helpful in accomodating the long shutter speed.
Hope you and Clarence are doing well!
