Fall Is Not Far Away

For those of us who are suffering from the heat, Fall is not far away .

Leafs and Flowers

A Florida Visit

I am looking through some Florida px and came across the he warming sign in the tree and a large leaf which seems to work well in color or black and white.

Asticou Azalea Garden

The Astucou Azalea Garden (http://www.acadiamagic.com/asticou-garden.html), near Bar Harbor, Maine is a great spot, even when the azaleas are not in bloom. The layout and fall colors work so well together.

The Maine Ground

Looking down can be fruitful.

Fall Color

It’s not just the coast and the lobsters that attract me to Maine. I love the colros of the leaves as summer gives way to fall.

Our Friends’ Yard

On our Maine trip we visited friends whom we have not seen in a while and here is their yard. It encapsulates what I think is the essence of Maine in the fall..

Black and White Fantasies

I like these images because they are not one look and done images for me but they insist thatI keep on looking.

Leaf on Hand

Al, I and Sam Wang got together and wandered around the old Pendleton Oil Mill and Sam found a great leaf in early fall color which he encouraged me to photograph, which I did. The first image is my original interpretation of the leaf. The second is Sam’s and the third is my slight reinterpretation of Sam’s interpretation.  It is great fun shooting with friends.

Small Scale Joys

When I wander around, I the little things I see are just as attractive as the big vistas. It is the little stuff that accents or creates the big stuff.

All Sorts of Leafs

Colors

A nice cuppa is a good way to start a day before shooting. Fall provides so many great colors, some quiet, some loud.

Leaf in a Stream

This is a leaf in a shallow part of a stream. I respond to the golden speckled surfaface of the water which contrast with the green leaf.

Spring

Spring colors are out and the next few installments will celebrate them.

Save

Leafs

Sometimes I will try to look at the same object with different viewpoints. I enjoy results of these red leafs.

Urban Flora

Three Recents

The first two images are from a wander with Al. The horse and sheep are fun to look at. The pine cone and needles seems to me to be an interesting subject which is challenging to get just so and I am not sure I got it. The leaf on the forest floor is from a wander I took with Alice so as to escape staring at my monitor all day.

Fall in South Carolina

Today my buddy Al and I went riding around to shoot a bit and he knew of a pond with a stone lighthouse fairly close by. This might be as intense as fall gets  for color, particularly the golden yellows. Leafs and pine needles in the water are particularly interesting.
