I had hoped to capture some seasonal color while in California, but the truth is my focus was else where and on meeting up with baby-boys, not so much leaves… So while we were out and about yesterday in Albany, Oregon, I made a point of seeing what was available for this challenge.

I decided to use one of Kim Klassen’s textures, that she provided for those of us, that joined her for Texture Tuesday’s. I had almost forgotten, about how much I enjoy using texture with my photos. I drift off into this creative mode and find it very relaxing and therapeutic as well. I will have to incorporate this back into my weekly photography regime, once again.

Good morning! I have a very short story about this car. VW’s are my dream cars. Prior to arriving at this destination on Thanksgiving Day, we had stopped at a restaurant at another location to have a cup of coffee. As we walked towards the door we saw this car drive by us. I noticed it and thought that I had missed a photo opportunity. Later we got here, to Silverfalls Lodge and got situated and went off to have our dinner. When we walked out of the building this cute bug was parked here. Now if it had, had my name on it, I would have known it was there for me. Lol!

Well, it was there for me to take its picture. Anyway I lingered a bit as I took pictures in the rain. It was fun and whom among us does not need a little fun once in a while… (:

Awestruck! Having been a former California resident, I am really liking the vibrant colors that Fall has brought to Oregon. Today I am linking to Kim’s Tuesday Texture. I so look forward to it each week.

It’s Simple Things  for today’s Texture Tuesday. Bikes are one of my all time favorites to photograph, among many other things. It’s a wonderful mode of transportation and a fun and healthy activity for families and individuals.

This brings back memories of my son’s skateboarding days. Where we lived they did not have access to nice paved streets. What stands out, were  their Van shoes, that would wear out and they would tape them with all-purpose ..Duct Tape..
