‎52/52 - Week 52! I made it through a whole year with this project. I took pictures of two of my nieces this week, so here is one from that photo session. They were sporting their favorite NFL team jersies. I'm working from a laptop this week, so this is SOOC.

47/52 - We've still got a little fall color hanging around, but it's not going to last much longer.

Reedy Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

41/52 - Most of the trees are still green, but the color is beginning to come along at Reedy Creek Park.

36/52 - Stopped by St. Paul Presbyterian again to try to come up with some decent pictures of it. It's a beautiful little church that I drive by all the time.

31/52 - A trail that leads to the water's edge at Reedy Creek Park here in Charlotte. I've spent many days and hours taking pictures in this park and most times I visit I see something new.

51/52 - A busy week and not much time for photography, so this was taken here at home. I applied a vintage effect to it with Color Efex Pro.

45/52 - I took portraits of a friend this week. I've got a few of the pictures done and will be working on the rest this week. Hopefully, she'll be happy with them.

40/52 - I've photographed this bridge many times, but I think this is the first time with the 50mm lens I'm using for this project. This was taken yesterday, 9/29/12, at Boone Fork on the Blue Ridge Parkway. The leaves seem to be turning earlier this year to me. I don't remember seeing this much color in September before.

35/52 - The dogwoods and other similar sized trees are beginning to change to their fall colors. It's early for that, so my guess is it's due to stress from the warmer than normal summer we've had. Either way it signals that fall is on the way. Can't wait!

30/52 - I took pictures of a friends new baby granddaughter this weekend. She's so sweet!

50/52 - Really? I'll be sticking with my artificial tree, thank you. And it already has lights on it. (These sure do smell good though.)

46/52 - Music through the years.

39/52 - It's apple picking time. On at least one of my trips to the mountains this time of year I stop and get some fresh picked apples. They're the best. It's hard to eat the store bought apples after having these.

34/52 - One of my favorite things of summer is the Farmer's Market. Not only are the fruit and vegetables the best, but they also make great subjects to photograph. :)

29/52 Yep, another church picture this week. I had planned to photograph this church at sunset, but a storm rolled in and provided some really nice cloud cover. I had hoped to capture some of the lightning, but wasn't able to. I didn't get to make too many photos before the rain began, so I'll have to revisit this church on another day.

49/52 - December morning here in the Carolinas. This is off a country road just a couple miles from home.

Reedy Creek Park in Charlotte, North Carolina.

43/52 - The fall color is coming along pretty nicely here in town - more and more trees with nice color. This was taken at the park I always go to for pictures - Reedy Creek Park. There was a lady fishing while I was there taking pictures, so that added to the scene. I thought it was funny that while I was taking a picture of her fishing a fish popped up to the surface of the water right in front of me causing the water to ripple.

38/52 - This isn't the image I had intended to use this week, but it will have to do. The memory card that had the image I planned to use decided to die on me somewhere between the county fair and home. I'll have to wait until next year to try to get the shot again. This is Providence United Methodist Church here in Charlotte. Another great little country church that is surrounded by the every-growing city.

33/52 Some of Charlotte's historic areas have some really nice homes and landscapes. I need to spend more more time in those areas taking pictures. This one was taken along Kings Street here in town.

28/52 I decided to stop by another local church to take pictures this week. There are so many old churches in this area that I could create an entire project of church pictures and still not cover all of them. Something to think about.

48/52 - The leaves have pretty much fallen off all the trees around here. It's looking like winter. Now, we just need some snow.

42/52 - Julian Price Park on the Blue Ridge Parkway. This was taken at eye level from the trail I was hiking as I was heading back to my car.

37/52 - Was at Johnson C. Smith University to take pictures and was delighted by the inscriptions on the buildings pointing to God. You just don't see this kind of architecture and inscriptions on new buildings anymore.

32/52 - Made a quick trip to Freedom Park this week and captured this shot. I like low light, low contrast images and the 50mm lens is great for these type of images.
