As I was driving along some bizarrely convoluted route, thanks to my GPS, I ran across these glorious maples lining a New Hampshire back road.
They remind me of ancient maples that grew along an abandoned road not far from where I grew up in Plainfield. The twisted limbs were especially striking.

Went on a hike in the woods with my kids, blazing our own trail through the forest to see what we could find. Along the way we collected some interesting and unusually colorful leaves. This one was one of my favorites.
UPDATE: If you're curious, I used my soft-box with an open back that I placed a black foamboard behind. I used a spotlight in the foreground about 45 degrees off and blocked the light from bleeding into the background to keep it dark.

Enjoyed a beautiful fall afternoon walk last weekend in Moraine Hills State Park. Most of the trees were past their best colors (although a few are still completely green). We came across this spectacular orange maple and shot it a number of different ways - this shot, with some of the leaves back-lit, captures just a bit of the beauty of this tree.
This maple tree was amazing because all of its foliage had turned the same brilliant shade of red over the entire tree
I went backpack camping at Lost Maples State Park. It was a mostly clear night and I was the only one in the hike-in camping area that I chose up on the ridge. It was so dark, I could easily see the Milky Way stretching across the sky. The light on the horizon is from the town of Leaky, I think. I couldn't see it with my eyes.
This is about the only selfie I will do this year.
Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were visible. Pluto is supposed to be in there, but I don't think I could find it.
It was hot, I was tired and sore from the long hike and climb with full pack, I was alone in the park except for the RV campers a few miles away, and it was one of the best nights I can remember. Can't wait to do it again.
