"How beautiful the leaves grow old. How full of light and color are their last days." ~ John Burroughs Two houses down the trees are all in their glory while ours are just beginning to change.
I'm so glad to see you're getting color. There's nothing like it. I'm certainly enjoying our peak here as well. I love orange against that bright blue sky!! Always looking up!
"I never looked for it, gave it no name; yet I knew it always, when the gift of peace came. I stood quite still for the moment that it lasted...Then the light shifted slightly and the moment passed, leaving me...with the lasting echo of its presence.." Diana Gabaldon
Life's around said Phil the 35 millimetre cameraman. I recently went to the doctors, and said I've got icon fever, but he told me there was no cure for the disease.
We're not getting Fall in the UK either this year, so the shots I'm getting from friends in the US are all the more surprising. I can't believe the detail you've got in this given that you've taken it against the sky. It's a really intense and brilliant shot.
THE CAMERA'S ONLY JOB is to get out of the way of making photographs. It's entirely an artist's eye, patience, and skill that makes an image. ~Ken Rockwell VISIT MY GALLERY
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.
