Fall colors.... more than just leaves

Fall colors in Oklahoma are found in more places than leaves the fall from the trees to the ground. Nothing beats a cool Fall Oklahoma sunset. I actually sat my butt down in the middle of a county road near my parents house to get all the clouds in the shots. I really wish there wasn't so many power/telephone lines hanging everywhere but I am pretty partial to having electricity, sure makes life easier.
I'm still running and loosing and am beginning to maybe perhaps like running..... MAYBE. I like being done! I feel I've actually accomplished something. I'm a bit frustrated that I am as slow as I am. I did improve my time from my first 5K to my second by 5 minutes but I'm stuck at my current pace. I've another 5K this weekend and the Big Tulsa Run the weekend following.
I'm shooting more portrait photography now. I'm still shooting action and event photography with Snap Shot Moms. We have a Face Book Fan Page, if you haven't already found it.
I've started a website for Kristy Troyer Photography and a Face Book Fan Page. Please share these links with your family and friends.
The leaves will be peaking in Northeast Oklahoma in the next few weeks. I have openings for a few weekends between now and Thanksgiving. This is a perfect time for Christmas Card portraits! You can email me to schedule your appointment!

Outhouse Races and Fireman's Muster

 In the County I live in there is Chouteau, Oklahoma and Salina, Oklahoma. Salina, Oklahoma was founded by Jean Pierre Chouteau as a trading post next to the Grand Neosho River. Because of this fact, Chouteau Day is held annually in Salina, Oklahoma. This year's festivities included Outhouse Races and a Fireman's Muster among other things. I missed the Outhouse Races because I was running a 5K elsewhere.



 

The Outhouses were in the parade and I'm guessing they got points for creativity too.




 







 

It was hot and my son was getting restless so we left before the hose wrangling :(

Battle of the Stripes - Pryor vs Claremore

This past Friday night I got to shoot my hometown high school AND I DID NOT have to keep stats! This was a big historic rival when I was in school. The rival goes way back and for about 6 years now they were in two different classes and hadn't played each other. Claremore went down a class and Pryor hosted the renewed rival this year. The Battle of Highway 20 or The Battle of the Stripes - Tigers vs Zebras.














The best part was Pryor WON!!!!
