Beautiful Fall Day.....

Last Saturday started off rough. I had had a rough day on Friday at work, didn't sleep well, and woke up tired and dyspeptic. When I surfaced in the pre-dawn hours I had this feeling that I needed to go for a walk. So I did, slapping on my old Manual focus 24mm f2.8 prime. This is one reason I love Pentax and want to buy the Limited lenses that they sell. Small and optically really good, they are awesome to use. What I have now I call my poor mans limiteds, which have the famous Pentax color but are Manual Focus and Manual exposure setting (with a little help from the camera). Anyway, I am glad I have small primes to put on and carry because if I had to have my Sigma 17-70 on for a walk like this I would be much less likely to carry my camera.... and would have had to just try to remember this glorious morning that our creator made just for little old me. He knows I am a sucker for sunrises and he made me happy!

Later in the morning I took my kids to my parents to rake leaves, during breaks I shot a few more artsy shots.

This one probably looks a little dumb, but I like it anyway!
