Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving? Ours was wonderful...a quiet weekend spent with family. We laughed, we ate, we walked, we ate, we watched movies, we ate...you know how that goes. It's back to reality this week, along with realizing that Christmas is only 22 days away! Eek, I must finish my Christmas shopping.
I'm linking up with Texture Tuesday today and thought I'd share a few photos from our visit to Old Town Alexandria a few weeks ago...I didn't realize I hadn't shared any images from there yet. We discovered a tiny park in the middle of the town and it was so picturesque...in fact, while we were there, two professional photographers were also there taking family portraits. A perfect spot!
For the last image above, I used Kim's "Sybil" texture at Multiply/50%.
All the trees are officially bare here...it's time to seek out alternative photo opportunities for the next several months. I think it's time to start practicing my indoor photography until spring! Thanks for stopping by.

It's always difficult isn't it when the seasons change and we have to change to ? As much as I like still life I much prefer being outdoors...
ReplyDeleteEek, I must finish my Christmas shopping.
ReplyDeleteEek! I must start mine! :)
Bare winter trees are beautiful too! These photos are lovely.
ReplyDeleteOh these are so pretty Sherri...funny, our trees are just now turning, lol!
ReplyDeleteA breath of fresh air from all the snow I have been seeing on so many blogs, so wonderful to see flowers and green. Beautiful with the textures.
ReplyDeleteI love the warmth of your photos!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, and so glad that you had a nice holiday with your family. Still some fall left in Texas, but will probably be gone soon! Have fun with that Christmas shopping.
ReplyDeleteI love bare trees but we've got trees here that never shed their leaves let alone turn. BUT... I shall live vicariously through your photographs this winter. :) Beautiful work, Sherri!
ReplyDeleteHappy Christmas shopping!
My goodness! What a joy to behold! Such lovely flowers just as winter approaches. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOh, these warm my heart as I sit here watching still more snow falling. Sigh. Definitely time for more indoor shooting!
ReplyDeleteThat hydrangea is gorgeous. And I hear you about the indoor pictures. Not much left to photograph around here.
