Signs of Fall, originally uploaded by Michael Runion.

I was walking around the yard last Sunday and noticed this vine growing up a tree had turned red almost overnight. Notice the stink bug on the leaf.
Here's a link to learn some details on these little bugs. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pentatomidae

Here are a few views of downtown Charleston, including Capitol Street and Clock on Capitol Street

HOLY FEST

2008-10-07T19:39:00.003-04:00

This is going to be one of the best local events in the area this weekend. So many have worked hard to make this a success.
I have been to a number of Nick Fry events and photographed quite a few, but this weekend other commitments will prevent it. You can see some of the photos on my Flickr site.

View of Taylor Book Store on Capitol Street in Charleston on a peaceful sunny Sunday afternoon.This is quite a big difference from a typical weekday. Lots of cars and people going everywhere. This is a big difference from a few years ago.

I made a trip to Huntington, WV to attend a Greek Festival presented by St. George Greek Orthodox Church. It was around 2pm and already there were lots of people there, even though it looked like it was going to rain at any minute. Mostly there was Greek type food being served and tours of the church.

Charleston WV- State Capital Building

2008-09-24T22:15:00.004-04:00

I was on my way home from Charleston airport on a Sunday and decided to stop by the Capital Complex to take a few pictures. What a nice day for some good scenes.
What can't be seen in this picture is all of the scaffolding around the Capital building. Seems as if there was some major construction on the front of the building.

Late Sunday afternoon (09-21-2008) I had stopped to get gas on Teays Valley Road and looked behind me and this was what I saw.
It's hard in this area to get a good sunset picture in this area because it's hard to find a place where the horizon is visible because of the trees. Usually the sun will set behind the trees.
I had to do a little editing, because of the power lines that ran through the middle of the scene.

I just bought a new camera and signed up for a photography class. It's getting interesting. The class is with Proudphotography.com For the money it is a very good class as well as inexpensive. I hope to publish at least one picture a week so we all can see if there is any improvement
