Last Leaf Of The Season












Well, I'm raking and bagging the last of the leaves. It's an "in-between" season right now. Gray-brown and leafless.

Some would say it is ugly, but I don't see it that way at all. Far from it! The lighting continues to change. Fields take on a different texture. The countryside is quiet. The roads are quiet, too. Photo ops abound.

Sunset arrives at 4:30pm in northern New England now (thanks to the shift back to standard time on Nov. 1st) so I can be out shooting at "magic hour" a bit earlier than usual. I like that. And while I do look forward to the snow, I really like this transitional period between fall and winter.

I hope everyone has as much fun not reading this blog as I do writing it. But if you are one of the handful of readers who haunts this blog from time to time, I congratulate you on your uncommonly good taste.

See you in 2010.
