Thinking about this week's Crazy Tuesday theme of "Trees and Leaves"and while our trees are just getting underway, the leaves seem to be turning brown and dropping at the same time. The jury's still out on a nice colorful Fall but we'll see in the upcoming days/weeks. I love the look of the hickory tree with it's compound leaf but I've already posted one of the leaflets so I needed something a bit different. I looked around the yard and this one grouping caught my eye. A hickory leaf with 3 leaflets, all brown but loaded with character (IMO), I knew it would be all about the lighting and this has a main light to the left and above camera, additional fill to the right and a bit from the back-top for a hair light. The grouping measures about 5 in. tall X 4 in. wide X 2 in. deep. I was hoping for a B&W conversion but the brown color won out in the end.

Salmonberry grows in groups and reaches up to four metres tall. It has leaflets that grow in sets of three. It has pink flowers that bloom in spring and its salmon-red coloured berries ripen in summer.
They inhabit the entire coast of British Columbia and scattered localities in the interior mountains nearly to the Peace River. The full range extends from Alaska to California. It thrives in moist sites from lowlands to mountain slopes, usually in forests and forest openings. Source BCLiving.ca.

...Let it be! They don't have to be shiny. They don't have to be red. But these new leaflets are both. Regular walkers here know there is plenty of poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans) growing alongside this path overlooking the sea. You couldn't be blamed for starting to itch just looking at it.
Newly unwrapped palm frond is uncurling its myriad of leaflets. It's part of a small, low palm that recently got a brand new set of fronds which rose from the center of the stem like a knot of finger-thick snakes. They are now unfurling, looking very frond-like, but do not yet have their needle sharp spines.

Magnified scan, with inset details of leaflets. Leaf not flattened when image acquired, creating depth-of-field.
One more of the series of shots from the Museum. This one was a bit tricky though. I had light coming directly on the leaf from the other end, as in direct sunlight. I had to move away to face the tree truck but then now i ended up with lesser light. Cheap Canon lenses are not all that sharp unless you go smaller than f/7.1.
Finally i switched to manual, went to F/11 and fired the flash from the Canon Speedlite 430EX to evenly light up these leaves. Interestingly i'm getting to see how light has DoF here. The background from the leaves seems to have been darkened out in the bokeh.
Looks good on large

This beautiful short walk is extremely popular. Popularised in a song by Robert Burns, the fine walk up the steep gorge of the Moness burn reveals several waterfalls.
TERRAIN
Excellent waymarked path; a good amount of up and downhill. The walk passes above steep drops but there are handrails for much of the route.
PUBLIC TRANSPORT
Buses to Aberfeldy.
START
Birks car park in Aberfeldy.
Walk Description
STAGE 1
The walk begins from the upper level of the Birks car park; if on foot from Aberfeldy you can follow a path from the main square. Leaflets giving details of some of the plants and birds you might see on the walk are available by the information board. Begin along the obvious trail, bearing left to cross the large bridge over the foaming Moness burn.
STAGE 2
This lower part of the Birks is in fact mostly a beech wood. The walk continues along the path beside the attractive burn with several small waterfalls. A little further on the valley narrows and the beginnings of a gorge are reached. From here on most of the path has a handrail.
STAGE 3
Cross a bridge over a feeder stream with attractive waterfalls on the left. Just beyond is a natural shelf in the rocks known as Burns' Seat. It was here that Robert Burns is said to have taken a rest when he visited in 1787. His visit inspired his poem 'The Birks of Aberfeldy' - and the little glen has been a popular place to visit ever since.
STAGE 4
Continue on the path which climbs up several flights of stone steps and zigzags left and right, the effort being repayed by several waterfalls. Once at a higher level a wooden walkway continues the route up the gorge. At the end of this the path forks. The path straight ahead is a detour to reach a viewpoint for the Middle Falls where the Moness burn flows through a ravine - but this path has been closed following a landslide, hopefully it will eventually be repaired. To continue the route, take the path up to the left.
STAGE 5
You are now high above the river with views of the crags on the opposite side of the ravine. There is a break in the trees that gives a fine view of the impressive Upper Moness Falls, the highest on the walk. Continue on the path which heads for and crosses the footbridge directly above the falls, giving a giddy view down to the river far below. Once over the bridge turn right to begin the walk back down the other side of the gorge.
STAGE 6
The return walk is higher above the ravine and there are fewer open views of the waterfalls. However the woodland here is mostly the birches - or birks - that have given the glen its name and the scenery is very beautiful. At one point there is a wonderful view down the glen to the verdant Strath Tay, with distant Ben Vrackie visible beyond. Continue down the path to return to the start.
