It rained here last week. Here are a few views from the sunny days, of which there were many.
I love the turning leaves. My favourite time is when we have a range: green, yellow, and orange/red all at once. Sadly, a fourth category is soon added: gone. But in the meantime, it’s a lovely view.
Reflected leaves aren’t as stunning–we lose some of their IRL colour–but they compensate by being unexpected. Fun, even. Mind you, it was the bright-green-truck backdrop that gave a double dose of unexpectedness this time. Also fun? I decided to wait for the photo-bombing truck to move on so I could try again. Now you can be the judge.
Sometimes I find an inadvertent study-in-colour. I’m not sure how long the yellow leaves were in the well of the wiper blades before I noticed them, but I was lucky enough to finally see them while I was in a parking lot with reasonably current line markings.
Finally, I find that sometimes I don’t see background clutter on the first try, which is when I’m very grateful to be working in pixels rather than in film. Of course, one photographer’s *clutter* can be another’s *interesting context*, but not this time I think. This time, I was also grateful for knees that still work well enough to allow me to crouch a little bit and long enough to change the frame.
