A Season Of Gold

Autumn II

Following are my next set of images for Autumn 2023. Golden hues and bits of orange have become more widespread. Snow is just days away and there’s a chill in the air. Some trees begin to lose their leaves to abide, while others hang on to green in defiance. One of my favorite things to shoot are groupings of trees that make pleasing and intimate compositions. These are sometimes referred to as ‘small scenes’ … in comparison to a ‘grand landscape’. I think they are often more unique as they require a more personal vision to see and compose. I included some small scenes in my previous post, and there are several more here. As always, thank you for visiting and looking. Feel free to leave a comment or let me know if you have a favorite!
