This is the same grove of trees I showed earlier (and I have yet one more to share after this). I just love the colors, being an autumn girl and all!
Autumn Colors, New Hampshire (II), 10.6.22

the way I see the world
And sometimes it’s nearly all green, a color I love.

And I may as well share both of the images I was working on … right? This second one caught my attention because of the white bark of the birch tree, second from the left: see those bands? I know they are faint, but in real life they stood out quite a bit.

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.

At some point I will manage to get to all the photos I took while on our New England trip, but it sure does take time. When I open up the folder my intention is to look at everything and weed out the images that are utterly horrible (yes, I have a lot of those). I start going through them, though, and get distracted by one image and start working on it rather than continue the task I meant to do.
I’m finding images that bring back such wonderful memories of our first, and I hope not the last, visit. I took a few photos from this same spot, just zeroing in on different things. This is the first photo I made.

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!
