Coolness

The sun was shining today, so we went out photo hunting again. Well, we went to the playground park (which is not one of the best places for foliage), and Geoff spent time with Babe while I wandered around taking pics.

Here are the results:

That last shot... there's a story in there. I see two people, both men, I think, twisting out of the tree, trying to escape. I also could see it as Jesus on the cross when he loses faith... But, whether there's a story or not, it's a really cool tree (although the other side of it is even gnarlier).

Next post will be a few shots I took after getting home. The sun had just emerged from a small raincloud, and was lighting up the trees most wonderfully with it's afternoon warmth. Mmmmmm...

Oh, those single leaves are really pretty!

I went out for a walk today too but a bit too late for really nice sunshiny pics. October is such a beautiful time of the year though - when it's dry!

I particularly like the gnarly tree with the splash of colour behind. I envy you such vivid colours - the climate and vegetation here don't make for very spectacular autumns - too many evergreens.

Have you ever seen the art of Andy Goldsworthy? Irecommend his book "Time". He makes art out of entirely natural materials and then photographs it as it changes/deteriorates over time. Fascinating and beautiful. Your photos remind me of his eye for colour.

Is that first leaf real? It's so beautiful.
