Early October Still

[lavendertook]

More early October pics from around the lake. In the path pics here, the leaves that were turning were not that bright in themselves, but were set on fire by the setting sun. I cropped about a third of the right side off of this first pic because that part was washed out by the sunlight over the water. I like how the walker's blue shirt gives just the right touch of color. I've been blurring the corners of most of these pics because it gives a greater depth of field in the center and gives that touch of misty enchantment.

Don't you wish you could drink hot autumn-leaf-coloured tea through the winter? Mind-fire in a cup! Photos will do though, thank you!

That's a great image. (-: Yes, I'll have that.

Very pretty! The blurring gives a painterly feel to the photos. :))))

Sunset light in a bottle for the win! (-:

Oh my God how it feels to walk on that path with all the trees surrounding you... *sniffs*

It was beautiful. I'm missing the leaves there right now, and waiting for the end of March when they'll come back again.

Beautiful, think I've told you before that some of your pics could be watercolors.

Thank you! (-: It's that sunset light.

I love your pics. They look like paintings.

Thank you! The light of the setting sun helps with that. (-:
