Hometown Fall Colors 2009

We had a very wet summer and it lead to the beautiful colors we had this year.  It only lasts for a few weeks, but oh what a few weeks they are.  These were all taken in two days, but that was all the time I had this season between work and weather conditions.  Hope you enjoy what we get to see each fall.

Indiana Fall

I know there are a lot of reasons to live elsewhere; like Arizona where I grew up or Arkansas for the fishing or Colorado for the absolute beauty of everything, but you know there are times when this state has something to offer you can't get just anywhere...

Indiana Fall Fire

I grew up in the West, Tucson to be exact, and I will always consider the desert and mountains my home; but never let it be said that the Midwest does not have its own beauty. The light was nice today, and even with the lack of water this summer I found some fall fire to capture. I would say we will peak next weekend.

Natural Abstraction

We took a drive Sunday up to Cliffty Falls State Park to have a look at what the fall colors where doing. We are about a week or so away from peak, but it was still quite beautiful. In this shot I was trying to capture the absolute sensory overload that can occur when the sun is coming through the leaves and reflecting on some and bringing out shadow in others. It just reminded me of an abstract piece of art where the artist seems to have just thrown the paint onto the canvas and accepted whatever happened. Your eyes don't even know where to go as there is so much to attract your atention.
