FALLEN LEAVES

The fall color season is essentially over.  And yesterday we had a major rain and wind storm, which did its share to strip the trees of their remaining leaves.  As a result, virtually the only place left to look for color is on the ground, and that is what I did this afternoon--before another bout of rain came through.

In looking over the images that I kept, I noted that they could be divided into two sets, one emphasizing color and one texture.  First, the color.




As might be assumed, I took these shots in an area that featured a number of different species of tree.  My favorite of these is the image that includes pine straw as well as leaves from deciduous trees.  I think I should point out that these colors are natural, though I did brighten up the images a bit.

The second set of photos is more focused on texture and composition.





Even though the colors are muted, I like their complexity.

  1. I look at these photos and am inspired to create! Not that I have a hope of ever being able to re-create the marvelous textures found in nature, but it does give me hope.

    1. Thx. This year the colors seemed better on the ground than in the trees.
