I have been taking photographs of autumn leaves for over thirty years now. I love the notion that time in moving quickly, and the subject is fleeting, and the window of opportunity is very short.
And I have probably taken 10,000 photographs with fall color. It has always been my favorite film genre, and I have transitioned that into digital.
I have taken many broad landscapes, and mountain shots, and set up in cold streams trying to capture small instants of time in an ever deteriorating environment. What makes fall so special is that it is out of our control, and all that we can do is hope to preserve a small memento of its magnificence.
So when I see a beautiful tree like I did today, I know I have many, many shots of trees, and that this one will be one of the many in the collection of "nice to look at, but nothing special!"
But as usual, I was wrong. It turns out that this one was special, leaves dancing in the breeze and the sun at exactly the correct angle to capture the color against a dark blue sky.
And so, another November day in Newnan yields a visual treasure! The world is a beautiful place, and all is well!

Richard.... Your skills at photograpy are phenominal. I love to see the colors of autum. Keep it up.
Richard...sometimes it is the common picture that turns out to be the gem!
Nice shot! maybe there should be a link to a slide show of the best of fall. Thanks for sharing. Our fall was particularly beautiful this year in Utah. I love the fall leaves as well.
Great shot Richard. Almost missed my fall this year, but the 10 days in Maui was worth it. :~)
Cameron...
It's getting somewhat late here, there are still sprinklings of leaves here and there!
Bill...
I travel many miles for most, and this was practically in my back yard!
Randy...
Nice photo, thanks for sharing!
It's fabulous! It's so easy to rush through our days. Taking the time STOP and remember what being alive is really about, is a treasure! Enjoy.
Terri...
Well, I guess it was! Thanks for stopping by!
Stephanie...
People call me crazy for carrying my full camera pack with me everywhere, including lunch, nit sometimes it's worth it!
Richard, that is a great photo! Really Beautiful!
Richard my adjective for the color is "vibrant." A grand shot you have there.
Richard,
Sometimes we think we have a winner and it turns out to be a little less - sometimes as in this case, it turns out even better than we planned. Great shot. :)
Steve
Has anybody seen Mel??
Hi Richard. I love to look at the world through the lens of your camera. xxoo
Another great picture big guy, better grab all you can, time is running out.
Hi Richard - What a striking picture! I love how the title was not a direct reflection of the photo but I was instantly drawn to your vibrant picture. That is one thing we don't have here in So. Cal. is the beautiful fall leaves and change of color. Thanks so much for sharing.
This is one of ther best time to take photos. I have several listings that the colored leaves make the home look so much better.
Tony and Darcy...
