I've been looking at shadows and waiting until today to shoot since shadow/s is the November word of the day. This is the shot I envisioned. Please notice the grass that I worked so hard to grow after the yard was dug up to replace nonworking septic lines. The grass makes me happy and I love seeing that beautiful green color in my backyard.
Such a beautiful view to start the morning. Great shot. Love the green grass and the tall trees lining the backyard with the sun rising in the background.
Wonderful capture and lovely green grass! We had a similar issue a few months ago, blocked drainpipes with tree roots growing through them! Had half our front lawn dug up! Very difficult to get it growing in a drought situation. I do understand your joy 🤗
Wonderfully strong lines. Your photo reminded me of one I took when visiting Caterina but looking back and comparing it with yours, I see that if I had processed it for stronger contrast it would have worked better: https://365project.org/jyokota/365/2019-03-26
@ludwigsdiana Thanks Diana... I know you understand then... it is hard enough to get grass growing when you can freely water it but in a drought it is all but impossible.
@jyokota Junko..You are right... my shot is very similar to yours... love the curve of the hill and the ravine... I think your processing is spot on.
@onewing Thanks Babs... I used three different types of seed... two types of tall fescue and then winter rye. Winter rye will stay green here for quite some time but is only seasonal. I’m hoping to get through to the spring to see how much of the fescue survives. So more work in the spring is likely.
@pusspup Thanks Wylie... I can’t resist a sunburst opportunity!
@aikiuser Thanks Jenn... the sunburst landed in the perfect spot for the rule of thirds... love it when that happens!
@gapandgain Thanks Van... I love the early morning light in the fall... it is so intense.
