It has been a while since I last posted on the blog, and can't believe it's November already. I took these photos last weekend and it's the last set of photos for the garden before the Autumn harvest. I had a good turn out for the Chayote squash. It didn't start bearing fruits/vegetables until late September.… Continue reading November Garden Update
This is my contribution to Scott’s Assignment 22: Color Composition. The assignment is to make new photos to share showing how color is used for composition. I didn't have to go very far looking for colors, the banana tree was from my garden. I chose the autumn leaves as my background, shot at f/4 to… Continue reading Assignment 22: Color Composition
We didn't have a chance to head up the mountain to see the fall colors, and after looking around I realized that we didn't have to go far to see the autumn color. Bo planted this Maple tree several years back and it has gotten real tall this year. Photos were taken with a Canon… Continue reading Autumn Blaze Maple Tree
My banana tree is very tall and the leaves would have covered the whole garden if I were to photograph from the top of the tree down. It is time to bring it inside and this time I have a couple new young plants. The Kaffir lime tree needs to come inside also. This year… Continue reading My Fall Garden Update
We can't deny that Autumn is finally here, as for us the weather is getting cooler and the leaves start to change colors. It has been a while since I updated my dad's garden, it's nice to wake up and see it in the early morning hour. And not everything is pretty, but the attraction… Continue reading My Dad Fall Garden
I took these pictures at Biltmore, it's obvious that they are less than perfect but I really liked them. I don't normally delete my images until I get home, believe it or not I took this blurry image on purpose. You can still tell that it's a couple walking their dogs. This image happened so… Continue reading Less Than Perfect

The Autumn colors are beautiful at this time of the year. My Ginkgo tree leaves are turning yellow. The Japanese maple tree leaves are turning red, it was green about 2 weeks ago.

The Americana hen finally hatched her eggs. She started out with 12 eggs, one cracked at the very beginning. It took 21 days for the eggs to hatch, 1 peep died before it hatched, and 2 rotten eggs. Another peep died and I think the mom must have stepped on it, Na said it looked… Continue reading Chicken Update November 13, 2010

Wind of Change by Scorpions The leaves start to fall rapidly and they call for our first frost this weekend. It looks like I'll have a busy evening tomorrow.
I drove passed this tree daily and kept thinking that I need to take a picture of it before the leaves fall off. The leaves were golden yellow last week, and this picture below was snapped from my car while waiting for the red light this evening. When the light turned green, I made a… Continue reading Autumn Colors
