It’s been a busy time of the year and I have not had the chance to take the camera out, let alone take pictures. A nice sunny Sunday finally forced me to get off my chair, put on the hiking shoes, and take some pictures. Images from Huntley Meadows in suburban Alexandria. Autumn has come.

Facial Expressions
Light up the room with a smile. Or in this case, move the camera up and down, left and right, and look for a smile.
