Leaf detail: Avonsleigh, Victora, Australia
A break in the weather presented an opportunity to take a walk with the kids to the local lake...this is taken along the path as I looked up.
From a recent trip to the Mt Coot-tha Botanical Garden tropical greenhouse. Part of my leaf texture series!

A Woman and her daughter is collecting dry leaf in a golden afternoon from a forest of Dinajpur.

One of the few remaining vine leaves on a wall at work, love watching the colours turn, thought i'd try a texture for this one as its been ages since i have done any texture work.
Sun shining through the leaf thus exposing all the veins. Amazing to see the complexity in one small leaf. Thanks for stopping by!
"October is the fallen leaf, but it is also a wider horizon more clearly seen. It is the distant hills once more in sight, and the enduring constellations above them once again"

I normally like to take photogarphs of trains amongst autumnal colours, but watching Clayton enjoy collecting fallen leaves is far more entertaining than standing in a muddy field against a prison fence anyway!
I started finding 4-leaf clovers at our house from day one. They were so plentiful I stopped picking them, but they were a great way to break the ice with many new neighbors out for a stroll. "Do you want to get lucky?", I'd ask before crouching at their feet. For some reason, I also got to know many of our fine police officers this way.
But 5-leaf clovers have been less common. This afternoon, my one-year-old son and I were sitting in the grass, feeding each other grapes, when I noticed he was staring intently at something on the ground. He looked up at me as if to say "Is this right?" before looking back down and pointing at this clover. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get his finger in the shot, but nevertheless he would like you know that this clover indeed has 5 leaves.
Race Brook Falls Trail, southwest Massachusetts.
Loren and I took a hike up this trail today to inspect for downed limbs and trees after the high winds the last few days. It was also an opportunity for me to try out the new Canon G7X which I got to replace the Sony RX100 III which I recently sold.
These are three untouched JPEGs straight out of the camera. All I did was crop them square. Impressive.
The Sony RX100 takes remarkable images but it's physical ergonomics are a problem for me: flush mounted buttons, a control-by-wire front control wheel and very slow operation.
The Canon G7X is essentially the same camera done by Canon. Very similar size and shape, same 1" sensor, nice flip up LCD for ground level shots, front control wheel with clicks (a bit too loud actually), much faster operation, better physical controls and a better menu system.
It feels much like a bigger, more capable Canon S90/95/100/110/120, etc.
I noticed that in high ISO JPEGS (no RAW converter yet) there is some smearing and this was true of the Sony RX100 (all models) as well.
It takes a while to get to know a new camera and for me the jury is still out on this one. I definitely like it better than the Sony RX100 but nothing compares with my Ricoh GR so I need to keep this camera long enough to sort that out.
