Carpet of Leaves

Carpet of Leaves

I made a trip into Blendon Woods Park this afternoon. After all the eating yesterday and then the left overs I needed a walk. The walk along one of the trails was quite invigorating when the temperature is 38 degrees, the humidity is high and the wind is blowing. Any vibrant colors are mostly gone so what we see now are dull colors on barren trees. I’ve learned to stay with the search for an image and to be open to what is in front of me. The leaves carpeting the ground provided an array of many shapes creating a variety of patterns so that is where I focused. All I did on this image was adjust the levels and saturation. I hope I’ve not gone too far and made it unpleasing to anyone. As I drove out of the park about a dozen turkeys crossed the road in front of me and scampered off before I could get any good shots. It was a good evening!

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.
