We're enjoying an unseasonably warm stretch in this part of the world, which makes it easy to forget that the first few leaves of autumn have already begun their lonely trip onto the ground and eventually into oblivion.
So as we headed in from playtime on the lawn before supper last night, I grabbed the camera, parked myself under the canopy of our beloved maple tree, and tried to capture some images of how a late afternoon sun paints the backside of its remaining leaves.
Soon these leaves will be gone as well. When the canopy of green is replaced by a blanket of white, I'll look at these pictures and remember how warm my face felt as I took them.
Your turn:
- This picture makes you feel like...
- And here's another photographic challenge (sorry, I can't resist): grab your own camera, look for an image that says "autumn" to you, and post it to your own blog. Drop a comment here when you do to ensure we know where to find it. Happy shooting!

Carmi, I love the backlit photo and the vein detail in the larger version is exquisite. It makes me think life-giving fluids coursing through veins, carrying nourishment to every part of the leaf. That's just as it happens in our bodies, and in the world, networks of veins, or roads, or skylanes, etc. carrying nourishment and goods to all parts of the world.
I love autumn. I live in an area that is well known for everything autumn. And yes, I will get my camera going I promise...lol
Great photo - I've just published a similar challenge at rashbre central! We should link 'em all together!
Best from rashbre
