Description "Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself."
-Chief Seattle

An autumn view from my front window, proof that sometimes the most inspirational scenes can be found just outside your front door.

I shot this scene a few hours before a very windy storm came through and blew more than half of the remaining leaves off this tree.

This was one of those shots that just sort of happened, and I happened to be at just the right place at just the right time. I'm so fortunate!

Oh how pretty! I really like how this looks. It's so beautiful how the green leaves and orange leaves contrast with each other.

Great photo!

Thanks so much. Every autumn I'm astonished by how lovely the trees are. The brilliant colors are mainly the reason we decided to be married in the autumn.

goldomega In reply to TallJohn [2007-10-30 14:38:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks. Normally I avoid cool color casts in a photo like the plague. I rarely like the way they look. In this case, I thought it really set off the mottled color of the leaves.
