More family portrait goodness.

A portrait of a family of six walking down a gravel path lined with trees in fall colors. The family includes two parents and four children of various ages. Most of the family is dressed in mustard yellow, olive green, and blue jeans. The mother in the center is carrying a small child on her hip.

A wide shot of a couple standing on a large rock ledge, with the woman leaning into the man while they hold hands. The man is wearing a tan shirt and jeans, and the woman is wearing a long, mustard yellow dress. Behind them, a deep valley is covered in trees showing green, yellow, and red autumn foliage.

A portrait of two mothers (sisters) and their children, all sitting on a set of low, rocky steps outside. The mother in center, wearing a sage green dress, sits in the middle with a child on her lap and another leaning on her. Behind her to her left is the second mother, dressed in mustard yellow. The children, a mix of boys and girls of various ages, are wearing coordinated fall-toned clothing, including plaid, yellow, tan, and olive green. They are backed by tall brown grass and a wooded area.

A family portrait of a father, mother, and four daughters, posing playfully on rocky ground surrounded by dry grass and trees. The mother and eldest daughter are flexing their biceps. The family is dressed in coordinated yellow and olive green outfits, with one girl in the foreground wearing a plaid shirt and an olive green jacket.

The neighborhood owl! - Seen this one 5 or 6 times this year at dusk. Kids have also been able to see this owl right out of our house windows. Just one time I was able to snap a decent enough picture!
