Perhaps yesterday will be the last mad dash run for Fall Colors. If that is the case I have more then enough images to show you. I hear the white stuff is a-coming as soon as tomorrow. I had to take a real deep breath before I wrote that tidbit.
Zooming like an electron within a cell, zinging with “I can do this Energy” in order to get out of the house by 11am, no one dared get in my way. Getting out of here that early mandates a minor miracle. Yet I was in the park before noon!
Smiling as the sun warmed my face, camera in hand, I was in my element in that park. Ahhhh … this was the life! Before long however, clouds [again] rolled in. That didn’t stop me. Heck no! I was not going home until I absolutely had to! Everywhere I looked I saw some tender morsel just begging my camera to capture it. Within 1 hour and 45 minutes, I shot 164 single shot frames!
The plan was to return home, feed our cats lunch, and then go to park number 2. That did not happen. The dark clouds getting ever darker plus the time change made sure of that. No worries. I had more then enough pictures from park 1. My Heart runneth over.
With no further to-do, I give you a trailer of all the treasures snuggly stored in my treasure chest, brimming over with rare golden nuggets. Please do enjoy. These pictures were taken by moi in Como Lake Park.

I would have liked to edit more images to show you. But … life calls. That is just the way it goes sometimes. I used my new 25% graduated neutral density filter which in my opinion did an outstanding job. No other filter was used. I hope you enjoyed viewing these incredible Gifts from Mother. I thank each and every one of you for stopping by to view what I Love to share!

Very nice! Yes, Autumn always gives us a very colorful last look at Mother Nature in her best dress. Colors here in PA are just about over, but what is left over is never tiring to see. Soon the cold of Old Man Winter will be upon us. Snow is already forecast for the upper parts of PA. It will get here soon enough. Not looking forward to that.

Yes, Donna, I was more then pleased. I didn’t know how my pictures would turn out with the filter I was using on my lens. But when I saw how my images were coming out, I was thrilled. I could have been in this park all day long. That wow picture was actually taken twice. Once from one direction, and in my coming back the way I had come, I saw the “opening” needed to get a clear shot. I missed that the first time around. The first time I took this image there was a branch in the way so I deleted it. Bummer! I was congratulating myself out loud for my find, not caring who heard me. I was like an excited kid kneeling on that ground!
We’re getting some white stuff right now and those winds have just again begun to whip once more. Howling more like it. Oh boy! Is this what I have to look forward to this Winter? I hope not! I pray this is just a fluke and a passing phase.
Thank YOU for again stopping by to see the Beauty that Mother so generously gives to me to share here. May you have a great weekend!! 😘😘😘

There IS something invigorating about being out and in it. You see endless shots and could stay for what seems forever. Amy-What a wonderful colorful success. I am noting that I like that you used a graduated filter. Working with nature not against it. These are fantastic. Thank you. Also it’s great I can click for full size. It’s like clicking my shoes together 3 times

I’m so far behind in answering my comments but when I saw yours come in I just had to answer yours out of context. (Life has been busy!) THANK YOU for the encouraging words you left for me. I chose the graduated ND filter because the day had been sunny when I first started, and I did not want the glare of the sky to interfere what I was shooting at …. my goal was to obtain a balanced picture. I do have a CP filter but I wanted the yellows to pop and with the CP they usually don’t. I actually had three other filters with me, but decided to keep the graduated filter on even though it became cloudy. I really liked the results I was obtaining.
I have a WP theme where I can display my images full size, yet if I collect them in a gallery as I have begun to, I can add my own private thoughts about each image, making it a more personal journey for those who view my images. I’m thrilled you enjoyed yourself here today. I consider your words high praise from such a great photographer as yourself. Bless you!!! Have a great weekend!! 😘😘😘
