That's a lot of maple trees squeezed into a shot! Taken next to Paugus Bay, in Laconia, New Hampshire.

They should have this leaf on the Canadian flag. Two-tone is nicer than the all-red.

The famous Japanese Maple at Portland Japanese Garden. Crazy to think it's been five or six years since I last visited. Things still look basically the same.

A heavy push on the colors that stand out on their own. Because... reality is never enough!!

I was looking for a place to take a pic of these nice-colored maple leaves. This is the result :) ©[http://www.flickr.com/photos/99933540@N05/]

Summer is over; the nights are getting longer, temperatures are dipping and the world is changing. It's that time of year when the landscape treats us to one of Nature's most spectacular displays. (Corner Brook NL.)

Mona took Boyd's doggy Pike for a walk in the garden. She had a brand new orange bag that matched the flower in her hat perfectly. She decided to further decorate herself with some maple leaves. ;)

Waving to Izzy and her handsome Kenko, who inspired this shoot. ;)

Fountain Garden

Cantigny Park

Wheaton, Illinois 41.854427, -88.154991

This is the second in my "experiments."

I was sitting on the bench by the fountain at Cantigny and noticed a nice maple leaf sitting on the bench besides me. Since I didn't notice any other maple leaves in the vicinity, I figured someone was carrying around leaves and left that one there for little old me.

I was too lazy to get up and photograph it, so I picked it up and set it on the pavement along with some other leaves within reach. Then I proceeded to take pictures. Eventually, the Maple leaf became the sole subject.

Then the Photoshopping began. I have recently been learning more about that tool, and decided to experiment on this picture. I wanted the leaf to stand out more from the gravel pavement. I selected the leaf and tweaked the tones. Then I reduced the saturation of the background without touching the leaf.

It came out OK, but it was also an opportunity to learn more about Photoshop.

It’s fall, and the leaves are just starting to turn. October is usually warm and dry, but so far it’s been cool and wet. It rained all night, and there’s been just a hint of sunshine so far.
