The first colors of fall are beginning to creep in. This pagoda dogwood was popping red down by the Winooski River in Jonesville.

I got a shot of this very healthy looking doe munching on corn cobs over by our duck/chicken coop. No doubt she’s at least partially responsible for the recent pillaging in our vegetable gardens…

The right shutter speed and light angle combine to make flowing water look like cellophane molded over rocks.

These tiny beads of dew were clinging to a low-slung spider’s web in the grass by the pond. I’d say the largest drops were smaller than half-a-millimeter.

The first time I stumbled upon this phenomenon of light scribbles in falling water, I was hooked. The key is finding spots on the water that are getting direct sunlight. A polarizing filter and slow shutter speed do the trick to capture some fanciful scribbles…

The term “supermoon” gets bandied about a lot by the media. The term itself is a concoction of the media and astrology, but it does refer to a true astronomical phenomenon known as a “perigee-syzygy“. This is the coincidence of the the moon being full (or new) and its perigee, or closest approach to the earth. The “supermoon” appears 14% larger and 30% brighter than your garden variety full moon. Last night’s moonrise was quite lovely, and the moon sported a coppery color dues to smoke in the atmosphere from forest fires in western Canada and the US. I took today’s shot from a favorite spot up on Texas Hill Road.
