It’s been a while since my most recent post, and I figure it’s time to start finding my way back again. There is much to share, so I’ll start gently. As I’ve overcommitted myself to too many hobbies, pastimes, and a bit much on the work side (of life), I’ll be taking baby steps.

During this time, there have been occasional photography forays, so I will start with sharing from those outings. Here’s a bit of “on the ground in front of me”-scape from this past autumn:

Autumn’s Fallen Beauty

Autumn is definitely my favorite time of year, as New England is awash in color, and the vistas can be magnificent. Of course, those colors do come to an end, as leaves drop from their hosts to decorate the ground around us (of course, we do have to clear them, if we want to have a lawn). During a late October stroll around New England Botanic Garden at Tower Hill, I came across this lovely arrangement of future nutrients for the maple tree around which they lay. Finding an angle to get a composition that I liked was not that hard.

Captured with my Fuji X-H2 with an XF80mm F2.8 macro lens at an aperture of F6.4.

    I know what you mean about overcommitments, I checked mine out and was shocked to find out it was a year or more since my last post, now two in a week, maybe I’m over compensating!

    1. Too many interests has always been my problem. I need time travel to make it all happen 😹

  3. Beautiful fall colors.

  4. Fall and those fallen leaves have also been one of my biggest inspirations in photography. Beautiful shot! As a fellow New Englander, I do agree we have the front seat to such colorful views!

    1. Thank you! As photographers we are lucky enough to find amazing sights all around us, including right at our feet.
