This leaf was fluttering in the wind, and several shots missed. But the glowing back light was irrisistible.
We don't have the glorious Maple leaves that some parts of Canada have, that turn a rich red in the fall. Our fall colours are mainly yellow with an occasional splash of orange. There are two species here that I sometimes see that remind me of what we are missing - wild Gooseberry and the plant/shrub that is in this photo. I'm not sure what it is, but perhaps some kind of currant bush? Just a quick shot, taken on 20 September 2014, when I was walking along the path to see the family of Beavers. I haven't been there for quite some time, so I hope all is well with them.
I actually got out on a birding walk yesterday morning, a rare thing for me these days. We walked along the path in South Glenmore Park, overlooking the Glenmore Reservoir. We found only 20 species of bird, mainly the usual ones such as Chickadees, Crows, Ravens, Coots, Robins, and Nuthatches. However, we were lucky enough to see an immature Pacific Loon that was out in the middle of the reservoir. Then it disappeared and, for a brief couple of seconds, reappeared somewhat closer to us. I was able to get just one 48x zoomed shot, heavily cropped, that I might post sometime, as that was my first "proper" sighting of a Pacific Loon. So amazing to see how long these Loons can stay underwater and then reappear such a long distance away. We also were treated to two Common Loons that flew overhead. Though we saw so few birds and bird species, it was a beautiful, sunny morning, with temperatures of 10°C to 16°C.

I like the DOF and bokeh from the lens, the colour tones and grain from the 400ASA film.
Fall, Maple, tree, leaves, trunk, fall colors. I particularly like that the rich colors actually glow on the tree trunks.
Mountain maple leaves turn red, orange, or yellow in the fall. Getting a closeup photo was tricky on this day because of strong wind in St Charles Canyon, Idaho.
I just came from my trip to Fushoshan Farm this evening. The maple were just partly red. It turned red later than last year since we did not get much rain this autumn. However, it was a great family trip with my parents and sister.
今年福壽山的楓葉紅得比去年晚，大約只紅了3成左右，據說是因為今年秋天雨水少。儘管如此，還是趟愉快的家族旅行～
