Solitary Leaf on the pavement in the rain.

Toronto, ON

August 31st, 2016

One of the many colours of a Canadian fall.

Simple beauty and complexity of a backlit Maple Leaf.

Have a lovely new week everyone!! Happy SS but I used no saturation or vibrance!!

This maple leaf hooked on my car door and came home with me.

In the light of sunset.

With the chill in the air these days, I've been resurrecting some older shots. We are still a ways away from snow here, but the falling temperatures remind me that it's not far away.

O Canada!

Our home and native land!

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

The True North strong and free!

From far and wide,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

God keep our land glorious and free!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Canada's National Anthem

Just a touch of orange on the edges of this maple leaf.

Em cada folha caída

Resta uma angústia profunda

Num frágil sopro de vida…

Outono… Sem clemência...

A leaf stuck in a pool at the Bellevue Downtown Park. The color version of this is soft shades of blue & green. I like how black & white emphasizes the tiny wave train that the leaf has created.

...is what I thought at first, but it is actually a silver maple leaf that lost most of its mass over the winter and became translucent.

Leaf

A beautifully coloured maple leaf I found on the wood chips around our gardens.

No labels,

no labeling.

Just lines

and colours.

Difference is a virtue.

The wind yesterday and this morning is blustery and the last leaves are blowing around.

We've been given a heads up in the group 52 weeks in 2022 that there will be a final week composite, one photo taken in the same place each of the four seasons. This will be winter, taken from in front of my TV!
