Hi Kerri I know you like leaves, so here is a little poem I came across for you to say a big thank you for visiting me and taking the time to comment..
October gave a party; The leaves by hundreds came - The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples, And leaves of every name. The Sunshine spread a carpet, And everything was grand, Miss Weather led the dancing, Professor Wind the band.
This morning we had 20deg and a heavy frost. As I sat in the woods, leaves which had hung on through the last two days of high wind, drifted quietly to the forest floor.
Excellent series of photos and commentary since I last visited. One thing I love about photography is how it makes us notice some of the simple things that many do not see as they rush about obsessed with their day to day lives.
I like the first one. Powerfull.
ReplyDeleteNothing wrong with loving leaves, I too like the first one, the other looks ill. LOL

I like them both a lot. The first on is strong, and I really like the light in the second one.
ReplyDelete"ok so I love leaves"
ReplyDeleteSo do I.
great photos, both my favs.
I'm with Q, the top one is very dramatic.
ReplyDeleteNice job. the second one with the backlighting is my favorite. I like leaves too but every time I try to take a picture the breeze blows them around.
ReplyDeleteNice pictures. Nature is so beautiful
ReplyDeleteNice. Both of 'em are stunning. The first was is a wonderful silhouette against the bright blue sky. I'd do the same if we had any leaves left. LOL.
ReplyDelete"giggles" I do too..I wish we had more trees with leaves, but most are evergreens.
