My computer has been infected with a nasty Russian Trojan virus and I don't want to pass that on via email to anyone. I'll have a post up in the morning (US Central time). Your fall colors are gorgeous BTW. The blueberry is stunning and of course the Smoke tree is awesome too. Do you know what variety it is?

I still see myself as being primarily a gardener who blogs, and therefore needs to take photos with which to illustrate blogposts, rather than a photographer who gardens, but I am taking to this photography thing "like a duck to water" as they say. (Egretta will certainly see the significance of this statement!) BTW, the background to the Chestnut leaves pic is something really mundane -- the lid of my water-butt!Mark Willishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558305122821209520noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-50087719196173178522010-11-10T14:21:31.583+00:002010-11-10T14:21:31.583+00:00I strongly agree with you who think leaves are at ...I strongly agree with you who think leaves are at most beautiful just before they die. The idea is same with the mind of our Japanese people who believe Sakura flowers (cherry blossom) are most beautiful just before the petals go with wind in spring!takaekohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02935915593745969292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-74772872185134242292010-11-10T09:42:10.103+00:002010-11-10T09:42:10.103+00:00Ahh, looks like my PS "took" when my mai...Ahh, looks like my PS "took" when my main comment didn't!

However others have the ability to "see", too and a good way to develop it is with photography. I think your photos are surperb. I especially like the first one in this group, the chestnut leaves. What is the background? At first I thought water---I don't know, but the lines (that look like swirls) contrast beautifully with the crisp shape of the leaves... and then the color contrast---it has the WoW factor!Egretta Wells bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410663977991054877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-27267756328198237902010-11-09T22:03:10.793+00:002010-11-09T22:03:10.793+00:00Mark, I am fortunate to have a brother in law who ...Mark, I am fortunate to have a brother in law who is an artist. I feel like he has trained my eye to see all manner of things over the years that I would otherwise over looked. It always amazes me how little people actually 'see'. Having to find photos for my blog has motivated me to look closely at my garden too. Thanks for your great pics.Hazelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16577208643431414375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3840827850297141825.post-51133408259189285212010-11-09T21:32:49.403+00:002010-11-09T21:32:49.403+00:00What beautiful photos you have here!
