ode to autumn

The sense of smell is a big part of autumn for me.  Beginning in late July and many times continuing through October, the smell of roasting green chile fills the air.  It is a rich, earthy, almost edible and evocative of the harvest.  Mix that with the crunch of dry leaves, fragrant apples, and cool air, and you have a little slice of paradise!

Lucky the photographer who gets down on the ground to shoot!  The smells rise up to meet you.

Even in a relatively dry place like New Mexico, the amount and types of food grown is amazing.  As a photographer, I try to capture the beauty of what nature supplies and humankind harvests.

until next Monday,
