Fall leaves after rain on riverside slate
Despite being mid-Summer here, I am already yearning for the cooler temperatures and variety of color of fall. I am not a big fan of the heat. It saps my motivation more than I would like on a great many things – photograph – keep up with my blog, keep up with other blogs. :-)
I have always been one to try to look at any particular scene for its very basic graphical elements. Leaves certainly make for good candidates due to their very recognizable shape. This particular image I had sitting in my files for awhile, originally because it had some distortion in it from the wide angle lens I used to create it. The distortion bothered me, so I put it aside to fix it later. Well, my fellow photographers know how long the interval can turn into from putting something aside and then actually working on it.
As it typically happens, I am sorting through my files looking for something else – for a print order on another image or stock submission – and end up finding images I had forgotten about. I originally uploaded this to my gallery as a horizontal, but the more I think about it, I think it looks better as a vertical. So another one gets rescued from purgatory.
Thank you for visiting.

Beautiful recovery.
The leaves are so striking on the slate. Looks perfect as a vertical.
Very nice! Always fun looking back through old images, finding forgotten ones. It’s like Xmas in July.
Thank you!
I wonder how many nature photographers actually do enjoy hot weather. I don’t either. I’d rather be out there on the wet Alaska coast than walk around outside in So Cal in 87 degree weather.
Great arrangement of leaves.
Same here Richard, even when it was 42 deg and raining. Bears tend to make you forget about such trivial things as weather!
Killer image!
