“Every leaf speaks bliss to me, Fluttering from the autumn tree.” Emily Bronte

It’s that time of year again . . . how quickly summer seemed to pass! The leaves on the trees are turning their gorgeous shades of red, orange and yellows, and cascading to the ground leaving a beautiful rich carpet. I just had to get out and play around a bit. I had a vision of creating a “waterfall” of leaves showering down on the camera. It didn’t really work out exactly like I wanted . . . but I do like the blown out image. I would have liked the leaves to be a bit more defined. I’ll keep working at it, but it’s now raining – our wettest weekend here since May. I enjoyed playing in the leaves though – brought me back to my childhood in Northern Ontario!
