HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
May 2009 bring you great joy and fun with your loved ones. :D
Ah! Backlit autumn color is a photographer's dream. Here you see maple leaves that captured the setting sun and illuminated the view for the eye to appreciate. I had fun snapping fall photos and have many to show you during these frigid winter months. This takes the sting out of winter, going back and searching through my archives, reminiscing about the great treks Jeff and I had on the land and in the Upper Peninsula, living in a past moment. This shot was snapped on our land. Maples are the highlight of an autumn with their striking colors and I adore the sunrises and sunsets when the leaves catch the sun's radiance by displaying rich hues, along with the shadows.
We just came back from a harbor where stepping outside in the wind chill froze us to the bone so we scurried back into the car with our stinging fingertips and red faces. Yes, let's talk about autumn instead when the freedom of the outdoors beckoned one to spend as much time outside as possible. :D
Have a warm New Year's Day!!! I have my resolution tucked into my heart. The word is organization. LOL What have you chosen to work on in 2009 to make yourself more happy?
Hugs, JJ

Ah...it is nice to see a touch of autumn during this chill! Thank you! Keep cozy by a fire and Happy New Year!! (Not sure what my resolutions are but I do want to learn new things in 2009 such as more functions on my camera - lol!)

Beautiful image. Old photographs are like a time machine that allows us to see back in time. Maybe someday they'll invent a camera that will take pictures of the future. Oh, what a marvel that would be. Do you think you would buy one?
Happy New Year!
I love fall, thank you for the beautiful picture :) Happy New Year!
Happy New Year !
Best Wishes for 2009 ! Looking foward to view more photos from your blog !

Shell, you will looove exploring your Canon Rebel XTi. Check out BetterPhoto.com. You can learn a lot from that site. Click on the photo links and many photographers explain how they took the shot. :D Thanks, hon. Here we are in 2009!!!
Swu, thanks. If the camera wasn't aimed at my face I would buy a futuristic one. :D Happy New Year, dear friend. :D
Nature Lovin', Thanks, sweetie, and have a Happy New Year!!!
Jinhui, Happy New Year, dear friend, and I look forward to seeing more of your photography. :D
Have a super start to the New Year, everyone!!!
Hugs, JJ
Wow, cool pic JJ!! All the best to you guys in 2009, looking forward to some more shorts and images.
New Year's Resolutions? I usually don't make any because they set us up for failure but I did scribble a few down yesterday and I have kept them simple and easy to keep. Things like "Write every day." So even if I only write a sentence, I have kept the resolution. I'm being kind to myself.
Happy New Year! Hope it will be everything you want it to be!
ЈЈ, Happy New Year :)
JJ my dear friend happy new year to you and Jeff. Excellent idea to show off your fall photos, but I have to tell you that last years your winter photos were just amazing. Hope I will see those too....:)))) Anna :)

Goooooood girl, aw, thank you for visting and liking my blog. I will return the visit shortly. Have a super 2009!!!
Hugs, JJ
Lovely photo! I took a similar one years ago (although not backlit.) I'm still holding true to my resolution from about 15 years ago now, never to make any resolutions again. Besides, I'm already happy, so I'm not worried about "more" happy. ;)
Sorry for my long, recent absence. Been busy with offline life. My best to you & yours for 2009!
Lana, I'm happy you had a minute to stop by. :D Haven't the holidays been crazy!!! We also had one of the worst snow records for December in history in Michigan. A sleet/ice storm is on the way again.
Thanks, dear.
Hugs, JJ

Hello JJ and Happy New Year!
Just came back from a sunny, tropical vacation and boy are you right about that frigid winter! Ah it is times like these that make me really, really want to change climates permanently for the winters. As beautiful as winter can be, it just is not for me.
Beautiful image and yes it does warm one up :)
Happy New Year to you both dearie :)
God Bless You!
