I agree with Earl. Closeup shots like that, nicely composed with good color, are underappreciated. It’s often harder to do those well than to do a “Grand Scenic.” Nice work, Monte.
Thanks, Tom. It’s almost too easy to shoot leaves this time of the year. We had high winds move into the area last night and this morning. So, many of those leaves will be leaving. 🙂
I just returned from a fall color watching trip in Northwest Michigan. Amazing colors up there, almost to the point where you weren’t sure where to point the camera. I knew any photo would just pale in comparison to experiencing it “live.”

Monte, Photos such as these remind me why I love this time of year so much — wonderful colors in that first photo.

Thanks, Earl. I was just talking to my granddaughter this morning about how much I enjoy the different seasons.

You got that right! Nothing beats the real thing. It’s nature at its best.
