Autumn in my small circle

October 20th 2020. I have been seeing photos of fall in New England missing my home first sixty four years. There is foliage out here but not the same expansive waves of color. Around my block there are few hard wood trees. But many fall flowers in my 10 block world. Each day the same blocks seeking a highlight.

Childhood always a highlight!

Simple ground cover looking down to find a small world of color.

October’s Vibrancy resides in flowers, bushes and in my rectangle.

So much color for a B+W photographer. Seeing small with a desire to have the image printed very large.

Rain drops backlit on my lettuce.

At the outer edge of my waking world there is the silly walk zone.

October 20th the Pumpkin tree is ready to harvest. October 20th after the rain.

More shades of red October 17th jump forward from negative space. My yard fall flowers dance through negative space September 19th Vibrant I love vibrant September 19th. On the 19th of September the light was quite spectacular.

October 20th even a bit of color from a pine.

Winter skies filled with rain will limit my strolls. I will find other subjects to shoot.

Elma Washington a Summer Afternoon

A trip to another Mill town. Walking new streets I have seen before.

This one being a Lumber Mill. Two towns actually Elma and McCleary. This on the road out of Elma but I found more compelling images in Elma.

Reflections of days gone by suit my seeing. Stories seen in the layers of downtown. In both towns tales of boom and bust told by residential homes sections that were built at the boom time all very similar. Then another group built 10-20 years later.

Downtown repurposed store fronts some with false fronts like a western movie. But here it is life past and present. Thrift shops pot shops and wood pellets. Friendly people 90% wore masks and greeted us as we strolled through town.

Eloquent detailed mosaic speaks of better times.

Peace can be found among the Goldenrod’s, the sun and the breeze. Breathing well Nikon in hand strolling. Seeing a blend of memories, emotion a moment happens when I depress the shutter. The moment, the emotion is complete to share with you.
