“One felt as if there was an enormous well behind them, filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their surface was sparkling with the present: like sun shimmering on the outer leaves of a vast tree, or on the ripples of a very deep lake. I don’t know but it felt as if something that grew in the ground — asleep, you might say, or just feeling itself as something between root-tip and leaf-tip, between deep earth and sky had suddenly waked up, and was considering you with the same slow care that it had given to its own inside affairs for endless years.”
—The Two Towers by JRR Tolkien
Thought this fountain filled with Autumn leaves was very interesting so I had to take a bunch of photos of it. Reminded me of something out of a fairy tale.

I tried several processing ideas but finally I decided I liked this sepia toned processing the best. I think the aged looked works for this. Maybe I will post the color version later to compare it to this one.

The trees are starting to get bare now! Makes for a colorful road of least!
I could not decide if I went to far or not with the softening of this image. Eventually I decided I preferred the softened version as it has a dreamlike feeling to it that draws me in. I have included the normal version below that I almost posted instead. Which version do you prefer? Click on the thumbnail below of the unsoftened version to make it bigger.
To me the silhouettes of this plant with its blade like leaves looked sort of like Helicopters.
Also I want to thank Toni from the “Daily Vignette” photo blog for giving me the “Kreativ Blogger” award!
Today is December 21st the official start of Winter. It is very appropriate as outside right now here in Massachusetts is yet another big snowstorm. Winter has been really hitting us fast and hard already here as we have had a huge ice storm and two very big snowstorms all within a weeks time! This is another photo I took last week during the ice storm. I liked the contrast of the leaves with the ice on the trees in the background.
Here is another photo I shot this past weekend after the very small first snow storm of the year. As you can see we did not get much snow at all but I liked the way the melting snow on these leaves looked.
I was originally going to post this in color but at the last minute I decided to convert it to b&w to see how it looked and I really liked the results so decided to post it like this instead.
I got the inspiration to take this photo after I saw some flower petals on the ground near my back porch that had fallen off these clematis flowers because of the colder Fall weather. So I decided to create a sort of still life of fallen leaves and flower petals. I went around the yard and found as many different colored leaves as I could and then placed them in a pile with the fallen petals. This is the result.
Here is another photo I took yesterday at Borderland State Park looking straight up a tree.
I had the chance to visit my brother today and we went to Borderland State Park in Easton MA. The foliage was near its peak and the colors were amazing! I only had my new Panasonic TZ5 with me and not my Pentax DSLR but I think it performed well. Here is a shot of a goose in one of the ponds there that was stretching his wings.
BTW I want to thank everyone for your kind comments for my last post as it reached the 20 comment mark and I think that is a record for me! So thanks for the comments everyone!
It was a beautiful fall day in Maine when I took this photo. I was taking pictures of the fall foliage when I saw these two rowboats all by themselves in this small bay. It sometimes gets boring just taking pictures of trees in the Fall with nothing in the foreground so this was a bonus finding these rowboats!
