A solitary black oak stands tall in directly backlit sunlight on the valley floor on a fall day. As I passed through the valley I had not expected to see fall color in such full swing. I had not previously thought there were as many deciduous trees as they clearly are in Yosemite Valley. And I had thought the oaks would mostly just be going directly to brown. However, there were some beautiful oaks, such as this tall specimen, that showed off a yellow and even orange-ish hue when backlit by the sun. As I passed directly beneath Horsetail Falls I spotted this tree and pulled over. I wandered out into the meadow to try to line up a composition with the tree against the cool shadowed granite backdrop of Cathedral Rocks. At maximum tripod extension I was just able to fit it in without too much sky, and the haze in the air allowed some crepuscular rays to beam off of the rocks high above even. I have ever been a fan of oaks and I ponder what this tree would look like in the snow in the coming winter months.

Well, I have to continue mveaches story from yesterday. After disappointment (neither of us getting "the" shot"), I decided that we should try a couple of other quick and easy falls in the area. So...since Falling Water Creek was much lower in waterfall than the near flood stage I shot it in last time, I was able to get some rather different shots. I decided I like the cascade in the foreground and the falls in the background. The only problem is...that you think the falls is tiny (it's 12 feet I believe).
One more shot of Falling Water Falls, taken a few weeks ago on my first trip up to Richland Creek. Falling Water Falls are a neat 10-foot waterfall along Falling Water Creek, in the Ozark National Forest in Arkansas.

Fall in Minnesota is exquisite pain. The multi-colored beauty of sunrises, sunsets and fall foliage threatens to overload the senses. But behind all that we experience, there is a whisper warning us it won't last. Whatever.
A little opening of sunshine was shining in on this image . I walked around this tree and took several shots trying to find the right place . I thought this one best represented what I was trying to produce in the image . Sunlight in the place of the leaves and the trunk of tree and bokeh in the background. Look on large if you have time this is what I was trying to capture in the framing
The Tamarack trees at Highland Forest were perfectly colored and the late afternoon sun was hitting them just right. We've had some beautiful early November days so far for fall hiking.
Fall in the Gatineau Hills is a splendid time to visit -- cooled off, Indian summers, bugs are gone and the colours can be stunning.

The light you see during the fall is so deceiving. Even though the chill nips at your nose and you can see your breath the light always looks so warm.
And as you can probably notice from the last few pics, I ran around the woods this weekend making the Golden's sit in every patch of sunlight I could find. They both got steak when I was finished!!!
