Autumn Abstraction

I have been reminding myself to play more with my camera this year.

I use it a lot for archiving, but carving out time to get outside, dare I say, alone, when the light is good, for no purpose but to mess around doesn't happen easily.  We're always eating dinner then, you know?

Tonight the kids were at Awana and Jim was working late, so I did a little of that thing I keep reminding myself to do.  It didn't take all the other work I need to do away, but, it was refreshing nonetheless.

I didn't go far, just across the street from the church.

I took and ordinary scene

and slowly began abstracting it.
