Fabulous Fall Foliage (part 1)

Sometimes as a mom it can be really hard to get out of the house alone. When you are already away from your babies because of work, it seems almost harder to justify leaving just because. Sure, I could tack some me-time onto the end of my workday, but with a baby who won't take a bottle, I try to dawdle as little as possible lest she go half a day without nursing.

So I promised myself that the next sunny evening that my husband was home, he'd watch the girls and I'd run out and take photos to my heart's content. One of my friends and former photography class attendee, Onica, came with and we drove all over town looking for fall inspiration.

We had just one hour of light. Apparently the sun is now setting around six, who knew! And it kept darting in and out of the clouds, which made for some moody scenes.

It was a typical gorgeous fall evening here in the Pacific Northwest.

Stay tuned for part two of this photo excursion, and an awesome couple that came to visit me last week! They're absolutely gorgeous!
