My Dogs Keep Me Sane

I'm gonna have to get more creative with my Ruby Tuesday posts. Otherwise, you are all going to get sick of seeing red leaves. LOL In fact, both of my Ruby Tuesday posts for this week are of red leaves. *sigh* Hey, you have to admit that they are pretty! This scene caught my eye because of the way the lighting was. I liked how the sun was shining through the leaves of the trees and highlighting portions of these red leaves. The wind was blowing, so not only were these leaves swaying, but the leaves in the trees were moving, which would alter the way the sunlight was coming through. So, this photo required quite a bit of patience.

I've been getting into taking photos of the changing leaves lately. Something I never really photographed before, but the colors keep catching my eye this year. So, whenever something catches my eye, I photograph it, whether it be animals, tractors, mobile homes, a cemetery gate (yes, I have lots of those photos), or even an interesting rock... and, yes, now we add leaves to that list.

On thing I do NOT care for about this time of year is the time change. I must admit that the time change this year seems to be affecting me more than it ever has in previous years. It is just very depressing to me to literally watch the entire process of the sun setting during my drive home (my drive home is 45 minutes). To me, the sun setting signifies the end of my day. I guess this is because I prefer to be outside, and if it's dark, I'm not outside. So, now, after leaving work, I feel like my day is over, when earlier I'd still have a couple hours of daylight left. Oh well, I shouldn't complain... I just miss having a little bit of daylight left after getting home from work. I guess this just means I'll have to appreciate and take advantage of the weekends even more!
