on fire

Nature on fire.  That is autumn in the Pacific Northwest, where hundreds of different species of Japanese and vine maples scream, sweet gums shout, and gingkos glow.  All strutting their costumes before taking a well-earned rest until spring.  They are very difficult to ignore and next to impossible not to photograph.  Thus, you are getting another dose of the extended season.




There were so many red leaves on the earth and in the water, that the leaf right in the middle of a water lilly was not a complete surprise but nonetheless, a visual treat.



And what can I say about this tree except "Bravo!"



Who knows?  Next week's blog may be filled with black and white, straight white, and tan images.  but...

until next Monday

a passion for the image


a shameless post script.  Thanks to Visual Server from the Photo Eye Gallery and Bookstore in Santa Fe,  my new http://www.blackscrossing.com
website is up and running.  

There is still some work to do (involving more expletives on my part, no doubt) but I present it for your perusal.

  1. Daryl, your images from autumn in the Northwest truly give the feeling of the unique rainforest there, with the cool, calm humidity and wonderful colors muted by overcast days.
