Brown leaves on a branch in the snow.

It was a frosty morning when we left Lake Minden Thousand Trails/NACO (north of Sacramento, California) to head further south to (hopefully!) warmer temperatures, (15-01-02-0049)

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore.

There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.

~ Albert Schweitzer

Another revisit and another opportunity to do something different from the last set; no clattering swords or camp fires this time round. I so love backlit leaves as one or two people may have gathered

Spotted this single leaf catching the sun on the walk back from the snorkelling area.

Incredible color on this backlit Japanese maple leaf (note also that this is the back of the maple leaf, very well lit by the sun). When I shot straight towards the sun, I got a silhouette... this is slightly away from the sun, but still backlit.. Voilà! A whole new image. Wow! Unbelievable! This result amazes me because it feels like this picture is taken in a dark room with some artificial light. I will continue to investigate more. Backlighting is very interesting! I have so much to learn!

A chilly start to the day

Spring is perfect for flower shots and all are pretty, but here I chose the abstract one, simply because I find it much more interesting.

In our front yard.
