Fall

Bikes on fence- Tina Elkins photo stylist; photographer Mark Galbreath

This is a shot from a couple years ago, but it is one of my favorite fall themes- the autumn bicycle. It is probably my favorite time to ride although I get very little opportunity. Fall is pretty unpredictible for weather, and it is always such a busy time here at home just getting ready for winter. But I love riding through the glory of fall color, and the crisp air is such a relief too after the summer heat and humidity.

I've been busy shooting all season and I wish that I could share some of those images, but they will have to wait a little while. The blue bike in this photo saw some more fall action this year. I recently did a photo session with the same blue vintage Murray bike where I had a little boy riding along a country lane with a great big pumpkin on the rear rack! I love to use the bikes in every season, even winter. In a few weeks I will post a shot that I styled last winter with my own vintage Schwinn bike. (The card will be available on the market by then so I can show the image.)
