Leaves

Filed Under: Photography Tagged With: Fall

I took a nice nature walk by myself the other day. It was soooo refreshing. Hope you love these images and enjoy all the beautiful colors. I edited them all in lightroom with the new presets from Munchkins and Mohawks. I am in love!! Made processing so easy.

How silently they tumble down
And come to rest upon the ground


To lay a carpet, rich and rare,
Beneath the trees without a care,


Content to sleep, their work well done,
Colors gleaming in the sun.

At other times, they wildly fly
Until they nearly reach the sky.


Twisting, turning through the air
Till all the trees stand stark and bare.


Exhausted, drop to earth below
To wait, like children, for the snow.

Poem by Elsie N. Brady

    So I'm still new to the whole camera thing :). When I think bokeh, I think Christmas lights. I never realized it could be captured in bright sunshine with trees! These photos are beautiful!
