Although I do love living in a place with a change in seasons, this winter has been longer and tougher than most in my memories past.
A few weeks ago I showed you some picts from last spring, now I will show you a few that I took of the Missouri countryside before it turned blah and wintery.
A beautiful day in Autumn.
I should have been at work that day, but took a vacation day.
I wish I could get paid to drive around this beautiful country of ours and take in all of the beauty.
Now THAT would be awesome.
But wait,
I guess since it was a vacation day, and I got paid for it, I did (technically) get paid to drive around and take pictures.
Sweet!
Always have to look at the bright side!

Beautiful pictures, as always. Fall is my favorite season. LOVE the one of the barn. (Was there a cow?) 😉
So, technically, you are a professional photographer, since you were paid for taking those pictures. Right?

No cows that I could see. I would’ve got one for you if there was! (picture that is)

Absolutely beautiful pics! I am guessing you live in the East – it sort of reminds me of how it looked in Virginia when we lived there…. so pretty.

I actually live in the midwest, not far from the St. Louis area. We have a little section that is very much like the east (or so I’ve heard).

What type of camera do you use, if I may ask?
LikeLike
I use a Pentax K200D, I have 3 lenses, pretty basic ones, nothing fancy. Photography isn’t as much about which camera you use, its about knowing how to use it but mostly truely “seeing” the final picture.
Thanks for coming by Barb!

I am simply dying to go to all of these places you’ve shown in the pictures above. I would most particularly want to go to the place shown in the second picture. The sky looks awesome , the reflection of it falling in the river makes the river look stunning! If I could go there it would be like a dream come true! Missouri rocks!
