I’ve not had much to post lately, but I have been out and about shooting. I’ve been going to Reedy
Creek Park and having a look at the last few leaves that remain on the trees. Winter approaches, though this is not a bad thing. I rather like the soft light and the nakedness of the trees in winter.
As I was out in the park early in the morning and it was about 26 degrees F, there were no people around. This is an excellent opportunity to not only see autumn, but to hear it. All around I could hear the leaves falling to the ground. Not only is autumn a visual feast, but it is wonderful time of year to bask in the smells and sounds of the fall. I took several pictures of the leaves falling from the trees; unfortunately, on the size that I’d have to use for the web, you can’t see the leaves well at all, but at least it was a fun thing to do.
Fall – In progress
Soon, all of the leaves will have fallen and nothing will remain except the bare limbs and trunks of the deciduous trees, leaving the evergreen trees to stand in stark contrast to the emptiness of the others. I hope to make it to Asheville, or perhaps Boone to capture some snow and ice! This year I’d like to hike up the parkway a short way, as the roads are usually closed because of snow and ice.

There’s a wonderful feeling of harmony in autumnal colours I think more so than there is in any other seasonal colours. I like the natural rustic charm of the colours that always for me define a sense of “origin” in terms of life and it’s cycle of evolution. To walk amongst it is almost like an epiphany happening to you in where you realise there is more to this “day, time and place” than yourself. An existence that is eternal with or without you has a way of putting ones self in ones place.
Harmonious colour and feeling Paul!
I miss Fall!
Now that I got that off my chest, lovely shots. Late Fall is special. It has always been my favorite time of year.
I see Richard got you guys in Carmel
Beautiful colors. Fall is pretty much done here. Only a handful of trees still hold onto their colors. The light here has turned harsh and flat for winter. I think you got colder than us though. I don’t think we’ve gone below 30° F yet, soon though, really soon.
