This was yet another early morning outing with my mom and our cameras. We got up early one morning in the fall and went up to my Great Grandma Addie's and wander around her place. We found this old rusted up bike leaning against the tree. Of course you know me....I just love the old rusted stuff. I loved how the blue and the rust looked with each other. After we made our way around her backyard looking through different things, we went out to the apple orchard where someone had left the sprinklers on the field over night. The result of that was ice everywhere in the trees, hanging from the branches, and covering the wheel lines of the sprinklers and the grass around them.

I found this one little leaf left on one of the apple trees that had been frozen in place by the sprinklers. I just love how you can see the casing of ice that surrounds the leaf. I like how the depth of field turned out with the background out of focus so that the leaf stays the focal point of the photo.

All and all it was another good but COLD morning out with my camera.

I LOVE the leaf. What kind of camera do you use? I love the focus in the background being all fuzzy. I haven't seen you in forever. I hope all is well. GREAT PICS. Keep em comming!
