Day 299 - Fall Walk

I was walking around with my camera looking for photo possibilities. I saw these two youngsters walking in the leaves. It brought back memories of walking through fall leaves. Of course the best time was when the leaves were dry and crunchy. I like this shot because they seem to be synchronized as they're walking. I also like the contrast between their dark clothes and the colourful leaves. The red shoe sole fits in nicely as well.

Day 285 - More Leaves

Found some yellow leaves that hadn't fallen to the ground yet. I like the contrast of the blue sky in the background. The sun behind them makes them even 'happier' than they already are. As always, the yellow makes me smile.

Day 276 - Floating Fall

Another beautiful day so we decided to head out to the farm with the dogs. The trees are full of colourful leaves and after all the rain, there is water in the pond once again. Along the walk Peg picked up a few coloured leaves. She thought floating leaves would make a good picture. I like the contrast between the three colours. I had an orange leaf but that one floated away. I also like being able to see the dirt and plant life below the water's surface. Thanks for the idea, Peg.

Day 249 - Fall's approaching

Although fall is still a couple weeks away, the leaves are on their own schedule and have starting turning colours. These leaves caught my eye because you could actually see the change mid-process. I like the mixture of the red and green. It almost looks like the leaves have some kind of rash.

Day 111 - Macro Play

Decided to get out my macro lens and tripod and takes some pictures. I was working inside so I cheated and took out the handy spray bottle. I had plenty of light as I was shooting in the living room in the afternoon. I took lots of photos and was having difficulty with focus. I'm not sure if I wasn't patient enough but I couldn't seem to get a whole leaf in focus, only parts of it. I'm guessing it was the angle of the leaves and the fact that they weren't flat but I'm not sure. I'm open to any advice or pointers. Thanks.
