This is part of the 52 week project for 2009 where I will be taking and posting a picture a week.

With all of the rain we've been getting here in Georgia lately, these bad boys are popping up all over my yard. I've been getting rid of them by using them to practice my golf swing.

Picture for the week of 10/4 - 10/10
We took a vacation up to Cape Cod for a few days and booked a whale watching trip on Saturday 10/10. I got lucky and this humpback whale breached right in front of me while I was holding the camera up at my face, so I was able to capture the breach. This was a very lucky shot as this was only the 2nd breach we saw that day and it just happened to be on my side of the boat.

This was the sunset outside my back door on Sunday 10/25. It looked like the sky was on fire as the sun bathed the clouds with wonderful colors of orange, pink and red.

This is a picture of a Groundhog that I saw while up in Dahlonega, GA on 11/1. We always see them in the same spot, but they are normally a bit more camera shy. This furry fella decided to allow me the opportunity to get his portrait though.

I had a hard time getting out to get any shots this week, so here is the submission. These are some shriveled up berries, which is all that is left on this tree as all of it's leaves have gone.

My wife bought me the 2.0x TC for my birthday on the 15th, so I took it out the following week to give it a try. I shot this Mockingbird with it and as you can see, I am happy with how it works with my 300mm.

We decided to take our company to the Georgia Aquarium on the Friday after Thanksgiving. This is one of the Jellyfish there. It is probably my favorite shot of the day, so it is now my shot of the week.
