Early Fall

Richmond's high temperatures and lack of rainfall combined to cause the early drop of leaves. Forecast for today is 102 F so I don't expect conditions will improve.

Great shot Allison, you could send some of that warmth down this way if you'd like :)

[Mrs. Smith]

OH! This is sad...it's not time for this yet! I wish I could send the rain to you!

[Rick Schies]

Yes I agree, but Mother Nature has its own mind.

[Tracy Watkins]

great shot!!

[Lone]

Its lovely, and such a beautyful combination of colours.

[Dalia ElMaghraby]

What a great shot!

Good job editing this...I see you found a good use for the fancy focus tool..I have only used it twice as you really have to have a good reason and the right photo for it to make sense using it.

[Theresa Reagan]

This is great use of selective zoom, Alice! Love looking through your collection and seeing how you are evolving into quite an excellent photographer!

[Elizabeth Hanna]

That's warm.... we're still only in the sixties and it looks like rain is coming.... grass needs it!

[Ginette Bellefeuille]

so hot here... yes... depending who telling the news, they are talking 104... going to the pool... inside pool...

[weslyn hoekstra]

I like this--the color and effects.

[Denise Vetromile]

I don't know what you did for editing ... fancy focus tool? selective zoom? ... but this is TERRIFIC!

[bonnie lee wilson]

LOVE what you did the editing -- so this is what fancy focus does?
SAD though for the poor trees and bushes that are already suffering this summer from the lack of rain.
Wish we could get a good rain up and down the East Coast -- without it taking a Hurricane to make it come here.
