I was out yesterday taking photos of bracelets, and two beautiful seedpods fell onto my paper background. They clearly wanted to have their portraits taken, so I felt obliged. After all- they were simply gorgeous

To celebrate getting a new camera lens (the previous had broken at the end of our vacation a month and a half ago) I took myself on a walk at Duke Farms. I was looking forward to the autumn splendor and enjoying my real camera again. Surprisingly, I just wasn't feeling very photo-inspired. However, it was still lovely and I did take some shots I was pleased with.

While waiting for the End-of-Festival fireworks to explode, I noticed this alium burst in the garden.

After capture, I changed the hue.
