an embrace... sweet sugar maple gesture... this was a very stormy wet moment
most here think fall is gone, rained away

PS... i have arranged my galleries so they form a boquet of light flowers... for this rainy day.... when my all galleries page is seen

not this sugar maple and many others

i worked hard at this shot.. wanted it to be handheld as always to have the right feel.. of just a little to the left and all the flow gong over and up... and not truncated with wavering hands in the rain.. the upper branches


so i persevered... and took 6-8 shots... this one has a good feel to me and the story curves along the bottom of the leafs that fall/simon and garfunkel..


and this one has a happyl ight and disposition... yet alas... it is not so focused... hard time making the camera focus... a non slr... n the leafs so focused on the roof... which didnt always work either

so there is a sharped one... but not so full of life... on pbase the lack of sharpness may not be so eviedent but if you click
original you can see... never been much for focus... but i get the concept.. and wonderf how this will print

left this shot of click, wipe lense, heated seat, take out battery to make camera stop sayiing system error#2.. and do it all over agian.. more

more shots are in my firtst gallery... white mts/mt W and rob must be getting a lot of snow for his last days at Mitzpah hut as hut crew!

have a good day, don... see thru the rain... ps left this shot a took my images off the wall of the art gallery that kicked a nice guy like me OUT... :).....maybe it was a ...focus issue!
