I took this picture a little more than a year ago when we visited my wife’s relatives in Sault Ste Marie, Ontario, Canada. We were too early for the peak of the Fall Foliage there, but I did see the beginning of the changes. I took this picture on the Hub Trail in Sault Ste Marie. My love for the diverse colors of fall leaves never gets old. I can spend endless hours shooting photographs and looking at the various leaves.

Unfortunately, I live where there is little change, when it becomes fall. Due to the pandemic, we do not go anywhere other than doing necessary errands like grocery shopping.

We went up to Sault Ste Marie last fall on a whim. We even thought about the possibilities of meeting our relatives in the spring to see other sites. Little did we know a pandemic would restrict our activity and travel.

When I shoot leaves, I seek to shoot with a dark background to show off the colors. It is important to take advantage of contrast to optimize your photo.

This lesson applies to life. We need to optimize our moments in life. This pandemic teaches us to appreciate our “now” time. Be present in your moments. We do need to prepare for the future and the unpredictable predicaments. Making most of “now” means being creative to find solutions for today’s problems. Finding new ways for fun during our “now” time is a necessity.

Feel free to share your new fun ways during this “now” pandemic time.

I was walking in the woods at Rolling Ridge Conference Center in North Andover, MA, and spotted this fallen Maple leaf that had lodged itself between some tree branches. The sun was low on the horizon and highlighting the leaf on this warm Autumn mid-October afternoon a few weeks ago.

Shadows on a Sugar Maple Leaf

I took this photograph at the height of fall foliage in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. I was so excited seeing all the bright fall colors and took so many photographs.  Every time I review these photographs I see something new.

I am intrigued by the shadow on this Sugar Maple Leaf.  I like the shadow on the leaf because of the interesting design, and the contrast it gives to the picture.  I am not sure where this shadow came from.  It may be from another leaf.

I also love the bright red colors on this leaf.  In California, the leaves never seem to be as bright as what I saw in Canada!  It amazes me how brilliant this red orange leaf is.

What do you get excited about?  I keep fallling in love with fall, and it’s colors!  I’m excited fall is coming, and am looking forward to my future search for more fall colors.

I love keeping it real by sharing my photographs which are untouched!

Fall is around the corner

I love “Fall”.  When I photographed this image, I was in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and happened to be there during the one week where Fall Foliage was at its peak.  Being from California, I never saw such brilliant colors during the fall.  It was also the start of a greater fascination with fall colors.

I like this center leaf with the variation of colors – bright red, yellow, and dark spots. It is interesting that each leaf is unique in design just as the uniqueness of an individual’s finger print.

I look forward to Fall every year now.  Last year, I missed the peak of fall foliage in Colorado.  But I still loved the bare Aspen tree forests.  This year, I will also be seeking to find more fall foliage.  Stay tuned to see what I will find!

As always, be assured this photograph is untouched and real!

In the Middle of Change

img_0874-copy-2In life, we do not always like change.  It is unsettling.  We have to adjust.  There may be unexpected things that occur where we need to figure how to handle.

Change can be beautiful.  We need to learn to embrace changes which help us to grow as individuals and realize we need  change.

This is a sugar maple leaf in the middle of fall change.  I took this in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario.  The striking yellow  and green veins indicate the middle of transition from  green to orange.  Our photos should record the transitions in our life.

This is another example of taking your photos with the light from behind to enhance the colors.  About 15 to 20 years ago, I would photograph 35 mm Chrome film for transparencies and slides.  When we would project the slides with the light from behind which would enhance the colors in the image.  Seek true color in your photos (then you will not need to photoshop) and record the changes in your life.
