Raindrops on an Oleander Leaf, 10.25.21

I find I’m unable to write much about the images I post here and I’m somewhat embarrassed about that. Dan always (and I mean always!) writes about his images, and does so in such a wonderful manner. He has a way with words.
Hm. Perhaps I need to hire him.

We took our first ever trip to see the colors in New England. It’s going to take some time for me to go through what I shot and what might be presentable. This first shot from my Canon camera (I have a few earlier things from the phone and the Fuji) is where I’ll start. We’ll see what else I come up with later.
I can’t say I’m thrilled with this shot, but I can say it’s a First Shot!

We finally had some significant rain, even here in San Jose. What a joy to hear the rain on the roof, and what fun to walk with the cooler temperature and raindrops on things. Not many flowers are out now, and the roses I saw were looking rather tired and worn, but that didn’t stop me from taking my camera on my short 4.6 mile walk today and using it just a wee bit.

Ah, my favorite time of year … especially when our weather changes and it actually feels like autumn as well. (Today it won’t, with temps in the high 80°s.) And if you are wondering, “the fall equinox arrives on Wednesday, September 22, 2021, at 3:20 P.M. EDT in the Northern Hemisphere.” (Yes, I looked that up.)
