I wished there were more leaves for more color in this, but I liked the dof and sharpness

Thanks for stopping by, have a nice day!
I captured this leafy scene while visiting the annual Red Barns Spectacular car show at the Gilmore Car Museum on August 3, 2019.

I got my first assignment: a photo shoot for a gardener's website. They had to clean up a big old tree.
Conclusion:
Not the best weather conditions and my flash wasn't strong enough to fill in the necessary light.
The blue sky came peeping for a few minutes and this was the result. I took a bunch more photo's which are useful for the website.
All in all it was fun and I hope to do some more assignments in the future.

Last year, the Cal-Wood Fire burned 10,113 acres and damaged or destroyed 26 structures. The fire, which was fully contained on Nov. 14, burned for nearly a month, and an investigation by the Boulder County Sheriff's office found the cause of the fire to be undetermined.
The Cal-Wood fire, which started on Oct. 17 2020 burned over 5,000 acres of Boulder County-owned property and conservation easements. A large part of the burned acreage was at Heil Valley Ranch, a 6,231-acre county-owned parcel with nearly 20 miles of multi-use trails. Certain areas of this public open space were part of the land that was most severely burned by the fast-moving Cal-wood fire, which initially torched nearly 5,000 acres in about five hours.
Trails open in June 2023 - we had lots of snow and rain the beginning of this year.
A trunk girth of four feet in 30 years in favorable conditions.
Found in Sub-Himalayan tracts in northern India and far into the plains along
river banks.

A handsome specimen, shade, framing, or street
tree, easily-grown semi-evergreen Indian Rosewood
has delicate, light green, oval pointed leaflets and can
quickly reach 60 feet in height with a 40-foot spread
(Fig. 1). The inconspicuous, very fragrant, white
flowers are followed by slender, flat, brown, one to
four-seeded pods. The trunks yield a prized cabinet
wood for fine furniture and the Rosewood genus is an
important timber tree in India. There are many
Dalbergia spp. grown in the tropical regions of the
world for veneer and lumber. Though the wood is
beautiful, the tree has a reputation for being brittle.
Some of this may be due to improper pruning practices
or inadequate training when the tree is young. Be sure
that lateral branches remain smaller than two-thirds the
trunk diameter to help ensure good tree structure.
Remove branches with embedded bark in favor of
those with strong, ‘U’-shaped crotches. This could
help keep the tree together in windstorms.

Warren, Connecticut. The trees in our backyard are shrouded in fog again and now that I've realized the photographic possibilities fog offers I'm delighted. Fog both softens a scene and creates a limited color palette which appeals to me in the same way Chinese landscape watercolor washes do. I think I could become a "fog watcher."
Note: this was taken last year but the scene is much the same right now. I like this image better than the ones I just took so I'm posting it.
Took this photo as I was driving through the rain coming back from Olinda Falls.
Actually stopped the car in the middle of the road and got out and took this shot. It's ok, it's not like there was anyone behind me anyway. Camera got a bit wet though.
Walk bout at Barr Lake with just a slip of a view of the walk path that goes out to the gazebo to get a closer look at the eagle nest.
The beautiful white Birch is standing guard as the fall leaves slowly fall from the banks of the Pond!
This tree initially confused me because the leaflets have smooth rather than toothed edges. But I think it's a Green Ash, which can have smooth-edged leaves.
Found: the spices required for real, authentic, delicate autumn cooking. I already posted aspen shots but this was on my second trek into the Rockies for the fall color. Edward TK had his sights set on Como, originally the D,SP&P RR (Denver, South Park & Pacific Railroad) division point (one route up Boreas Pass to Breckenridge and one to Fairplay in South Park) named for Lake Como (South Park bears little resemblance), and then up Boreas Pass, expecting aspen. As usual, his mind wandered, well... bits and pieces of it anyway. We ended up at the Como Cemetery even after I told him he wouldn't have much luck because they were already dead. Even Olivia started gooning him. I found this aspen grove still in good color down hill from the cemetery and decided I liked the swath of golden color that were aspens slowly infiltrating the cemetery. I especially liked the sun light streaking into the grove and dappling the floor through spots it finds where it sneaks through the trees. That's while Eddie was examining the wildlife of the sleeping and the walking dead in Como Cemetery. Sheeeeesh! I figured that the dead could wait a while for me! Perhaps you are familiar with THIS South Park instead of the cartoon kids?
I decided this might be an opportunity for the last aspen shots. It seems these groves show this year's maximum but limited range so it was a good spot to try something after the summer's drought. I expected little of the turning aspen leaves. Eddie and I decided that the color was about about toast and some of the oranges were leaves turning brown and dying according to the orange hue in distant stands. There won't be another weekend of aspen color this year. Snow is on the way for according to the "Lie on the Big Eye"; there was a dusting of snow like powdered sugar high up on the north facing slope of Mount Silverheels sheltering Boreas Pass above us. Next the autumn focus will be on the flats down below. Truthfully, I cleaned and lifted the white bark on the trees so they might be the feature. I also kept the pastel impression of the shot.
Located on Rocky Creek off a ten-foot wide dirt road in Shannon County, Missouri, Klepzig Mill is one of my favorite places in the State to visit.
Klepzig Mill is a small turbine mill built by Walter Klepzig in 1928. Klepzig purchased the land in 1912 for $5.50 per acre. The son of a Prussian German immigrant, Klepzig sawed logs into boards for his house and out-buildings, and was known to routinely save "good boards" for use in building coffins for his neighbors. He was also known to be one of the first in the area to introduce both barbed and woven wire fences and to raise a refined breed of milking cow. With the mill running at times at full capacity and his progressive agricultural methods, Klepzig and his family enjoyed some degree of prosperity. The family was reported to have to have purchase the first radio in the county, and they often shared their prosperity by grinding corn for neighbors who were “on starvation.”
Walter Klepzig picked one of the most beautiful spots to build his mill. Isolated in a narrow gorge between two high bluffs rising up to 1140 feet formed by Buzzard Mountain on one side and Mill Mountain on the other, the Mill sits on a rocky ridge just above Rocky Creek. Below, Rocky Creek tumbles through a series of waterfalls and pools formed by igneous rock as it travels eventually to join the Current River several miles downstream.
The Mill itself is not much to look at. The very simple building houses one room with portions of the millworks still inside. The Mill is made from plain wooden boards, the scrap metal hinge from the hood of a Model "A" Ford truck, and an old corrugated iron roof. In addition to the doorway, one window punctuates each of the east and west walls. Nonetheless, the Mill is located in a spectacular setting, clinging to the rocky south bank of Rocky Creek surrounded by the rhyolite rock of the "shut-in" canyon. Shut-ins occur when a stream is “shut in” to a narrow canyon-like valley. The stream flow through softer sedimentary bedrock materials such as dolomite or sandstone, but encounters more resistant igneous rock, thus forming waterfalls and pools.
In addition to the mill building, a small springhouse, chicken laying house and smokehouse are still standing. However, fires have destroyed all but the concrete foundations of the 1 ½ story Klepzig House and 2 ½ story barn that once stood nearby.
According to its registration form with the National Register of Historic Places: “Standing at the Klepzig mill or house site today, one will see in any direction essentially the same vista viewed in 1930.” The landscape today is “substantially unchanged since the years of the mill’s operation.”
Klepzig Mill is located in the Ozark National Scenic Riverways near Eminence, Missouri, and is on the National Register of Historic Places. It was acquired by the National Park Service in 1974. The mill structure has been partially restored by the Parks Service over the years.
