After a couple of weeks of traveling here and there - I kept it close to home this weekend.
Well, except for a quick shoot up to Eaton and Conway NH on Saturday- haha- I mean- its foliage season, right?
Anyway - theres a small church in Eaton NH that sits near the edge of Crystal Lake. I've shot it a few times, but never got the results (weather-wise) that I wanted.
So on Saturday - I figured I'd give it another run, and if it sucked- I'd just keep going up 153 to Conway and go from there.
Fortunately, it didn't suck.

The fog was awesome-although I had to wait a while for it to clear in front of the church. Luckily, it hung just above it and stayed there.
I will take that s*** 7 days a week and twice on Sunday! Just a beautfiful scene. And yes, it has been photographed a thousand times by a thousand photographers.
But I don't care about that stuff. I don't care how many times somethings been shot, if I like it - Im taking an image (or 100) of it. Besides- places like this are always changing.
For instance- on Saturday I did something I never do - and that is - go back the same way I came to a location. I always go another way to see more stuff. But on Saturday - I didn't. And it's a good thing I didn't.
Here's what the same spot looked like 3 hours later....

See?
And when the sun poked in and out of the clouds, it changed again...

Same place. Different looks for each pic.
That's why you can shoot something a hundred times and come away 100 different looking images.
Anyway.....
Saturday afternoon was about getting stuff done. You know, errands you do have time to do during the week.
We had to go to BJ's.
Why is it everytime I go there, I want to buy a new friggin tv?
An 85 inch screen? ABSOLUTELY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!! (Ok not yet...but some day!)
Went out with our friends Dave and Jolene on Saturday night to a restaurant in York Me - The Central. Very good food there!
Walked around York Beach Short Sands before dinner.
And HEY!!!
WHERE THE HELL IS EVERYBODY!!!? AND WHY IS EVERYTHING CLOSED!!! hahah -
This is the time of year when tourist towns like this is given back to the locals. Good for them. Enjoy it.
For instance- these local surfers were out surfing when we were walking by. And maybe it's just me - but don't you think these bro's are a little too close to the f'n rocks?????????
They came pretty damn close a couple of times!
Sunday I had to clean up the mess from that wind and rain storm the other night. Wanted to get it all done before the Pats game.
Had to do round one of the fallen leaves...
Yeah. I friggin LOVE autumn. No, really! I LOVE having to do this TEN FRIGGIN TIMES!!! haha -
Later, jumped on a video call with Connie and Arnie...
and ended the night with Valerie and Cait around the fire having one of the new beers from Northwoods Brewing Company!
I think its kind of a seltzer type drink - but to be honest, my daughter handed to me and I just drank it....hahah -
(WHO AM I? Hahah- I don't even know myself anymore! Just takin drinks and pounding them and not even knowing what they are!!)
Anyway- hope you all had a good weekend-
