I’m keeping it simple this week; just four new photos on 500px. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through October.  Time inexorably slips by, and it just seems to go faster with each passing year.  But it is my favorite time of year: autumn!  We got out this weekend for some local fall color, so look for some of those pictures coming really soon! Boats floating at a frosty dock at sunrise on Diamond Lake in Oregon | LotsaSmiles Photography This first picture was from our trip to Crater Lake.  We camped in a cabin at the nearby Diamond Lake, and with a chilly evening (we had a blizzard at the lake) and clear skies predicted the following morning, I had a hunch we’d get some morning mist.  I pried myself out of bed, and I was rewarded with this beautiful morning scene.  You can read all about that day here.

A "diamond ring" eclipse, with the sun just beginning to return from totality | LotsaSmiles Photography It’s been a little while since I’ve posted any eclipse photos, so I thought it was time to revisit one.  This is the iconic “diamond ring” shot, and it’s one of my favorites from last year’s Great American Eclipse.  That was an adventure in itself; you can read all about that here.
