Fall is here with the cooler weather, the colorful change in the trees, and the nasty ragweed. Ragweed has always been a problem for me but this year is really bad. Still, fall is my favorite time of the year. On a cool Saturday morning, it is always fun to grab a cup of coffee and head to farmers market to buy mums, pumpkins, gourds and maybe a mini hay bale or two to set everything on. Even if I don't buy anything, because I have my camera, I am always sure to snap a couple of good shots of the scenery.
Like the many varieties of flowers and such at Farmers Market, the people there are as interesting. I use a larger lens so that I don't have to be in people's faces to take their picture. I would ask for their permission but generally if people know they are getting their picture taken, it looks like I had said, "say cheese." Look in the mirror and say, "cheese" and tell me if that is a natural look. This morning, I did meet and say hello this boy Jeremiah and his family. They were visiting Dallas from Arkansas. I have found that children are less likely to know that, "say cheese" look. I made it home with some good shots and couple of pie pumpkins. If you have ever had pumpkin pie or pumpkin soup with real pumpkin and not the can stuff, you will never go back. So in the future if you see me snapping pictures, I am only looking to get some nice pictures, and your chance of being in one has probably passed.
