Ali and I slept in this morning, recovering from our whirlwind trip to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving Day. But the weather was way too beautiful to keep us inside all day. It was sunny and warm. The temperature rose to the sixties.
So after a light lunch we grabbed our cameras and drove out to Keeneland for the Keeneland Arts Fair, where we bought a couple of really cool light catchers and a ring for Ali. Before we left Keeneland, we took a bunch of photos. It is such a beautiful and photogenic locale.
We drove out into the country south and west of the track and stopped in a couple of spots to take more photos. The afternoon light was perfect for some great shots.
We also stopped at the arboretum on the way home. It was just before sunset, and the light was too great to miss out on. We got some more good photos there.
It will take some time to sort through all the shots and post-process them. We'll let you know when we post them.
Dinner is simmering on the stove. I am preparing an ad lib Punjabi lamb dish which we will eat with Basmati rice.
I wish every fall weekend could be so nice. We have had more than our fair share of rainy weather this fall. There was no way I was going to miss out on this great day. It sure beat fighting the masses at the malls.
It was a great day, wasn't it?

NO MALL for me either. I'm glad that you got great photos; I didn't! (but the ones I have are amusingly horrible)

I never left the house, but I was amusing too.

Sounds like a fabulous day!
Can't wait for the photos.

we've been very lucky since early last week with the weather. sunny, relatively mild - and yes, up to the low 60s almost each day. amazing....
yet, i do know that snow is just around the corner for us here in the buffalo area. months of that and not much sight of sunshine. sigh.

An autumn drive in your part of the world would be hard to beat, I imagine.

Your weekend sounds like it was great! Mine was as well--all weekend with my sweetie and his family.
And not a mall in sight---couldn't pay me enough to shop on Black Friday!
