Great fall color not hard to find
Again, it doesn't take much to get incredible colors here.
Hola!!
So today we will start by geeking out a bit with the 'artsy stuff'
The above two photos are that two completely different shots of the same subject matter with different zooms. Its incredible the qualities of the pictures and how varied they become. I like both shots but for different reasons.
The top one seems to me much busier. There is a lot going on in the upper left- bright, crisp, focused intense color, this abruptly stops and the bottom right balances with softer tones and edges. I think the blue of the sky also works a bit to offset the red. Not totally balanced in terms of pallets, definitely red heavy- but I like it none the less. That is one of the great things about art....its subjective. Nobody has to win or lose (AHEM) as long as it is experienced.
The second shot is a individual study. Here we can see the plight of a single leaf. The variance in color- greens, yellows, red. I also like how I caught the imperfection of the edge. The truth of uneven, eaten and worn edges. The hues of the surrounding foliage and clear sky. Rather than the focus of contrast of the photo, this one to me highlights a part of the tree....like the cells of our bodies. Many of these individuals combine to create a spectacular tree on a Autumn afternoon. I don't think of trees that way often. So I like the image for the vibrant colors AND the way it entices me to think of something a little different.

Ready to stew
Prepping on the porch
Mom and I made apple sauce last night. It's really good. I think if Grandma were around she'd have been proud. Prepped out on the porch. Used fresh ingredients, and came out with a new addition to the cooking Rolodex. I'll put up the recipe tomorrow. I'm tired and gonna head for bed. More next time...
