After spending time investigating Roberts Creek, I drove along the coastal road and found the Roberts Creek Provincial Park. This entire area attracts a good deal of tourism in the summer so this time of year finds those same places somewhat empty of people. Except for one other person, this place was mine to play in.
After many angles, and numerous shots, this is the image that was in my mind. The sweeping stone stairs on a hill had drawn my attention, with the carpet of Autumn leaves laying undisturbed. Their vivid colors were in stark contrast to the grey stairs, while the fence and green foliage would support them in the background. I wanted to exaggerate the stairs and how they swept across the view so getting close with a wide angle lens was necessary. It was a fun afternoon with the time needed to find what lay behind the camera.
The sunlight was casting the shadow of a tree on a carpet of ‘Dokudami’ in full bloom. Houttuynia cordata (‘Dokudami’ in Japanese) is a common ground-covering weed native to eastern Asia. It is also known as one of the most popular medical herbs in Japan.

Thanks very much for the comments and the visit, everyone! :)
Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The tall structure in the background is Ghanta Ghar, also known as the clock tower of Rajasthan.
Surrounding the tower is Sadar Market where many locals and tourists sell, buy and hang out to people watch.
Visualizing the trees making their way across this red carpet of leaves, gave rise to more imagery. While one tree is seen moving out of the frame, another takes center stage. This in turn is followed up by a pair just entering the area. A contingent of onlookers view the proceedings in the background, while others enjoy the light.
It is all in how you look at things, that helps create a final result. My narrative for this shot, tells me what to exclude, and what further supports the story. Plus a vivid imagination and thinking just a little off center.

Garn Boduan is an Iron Age hillfort and hill near Nefyn, on the Llŷn Peninsula in Wales. In a survey in the 1950s the traces of over 170 round houses were identified on this site, and around 100 round houses are still visible on the ground. Between 100 and 400 people may have lived in this fort.

We ordered a bespoke rug when we were in India last year. It was hand made so took a while, but arrived a couple of weeks ago. It's made with silks and the colours are absolutely beautiful. We are so pleased with it.
