There seem to be more leaves on the ground than there were last week. Of course that's no surprise but I'm not sure I'm really ready for the cooler weather that's around the corner. Still, Autumn continues to put some lovely pictures on my path. I liked the random way the leaves had fallen on the steps off my deck and decided to turn the shot into an artistic black and white.
@olivetreeann Ooooh, I never thought about that. Bare trees silhouetted by the sunset would be beautiful. Going to have to work on that one. Thanks for the inspiration.
Cool shot in b & w catching all the textures in the steps. Our pesky huge Sweet Gum tree in the front yard is shedding its leaves like crazy now and will be doing that for several months. Spoils the tropical look :-)
@homeschoolmom Looking forward to those shots! @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian! @maggiemae "Ah yes", she agrees, "Lino prints are quite nice and were a favorite art project of mine in my early school days". Thank you very much Maggie! @pflaume Thanks Lisa! @twr Thank you Timothy! @yaorenliu Thank you Yao! Winter must come, but Spring will follow. @sangwann Thank you Dione! @tuya Thanks Claire! @digitalrn Thanks Rick! @cimes1 Thank you Carole! Thank goodness for leaf blowers! @jackie8 Thanks Jackie! @dakotaburns Thank you Donald! @henrir Thanks Henri! @salza Thanks Sally! @alia_801 Thank you Alia! @httpgeffed Thank you Colleen! @moreyoulessme Thank you Jerri! @daisy Thanks Kathryn! I hope it passes as quickly as summer and fall have!
@kandkids Thanks Karen! @cimes1 Too bad they don't make a dust-buster size leaf blower for those in-between times! @kaesebiscuit Thank you Mr. Biscuit! I think it works when there are details- in this case the grain of the wood and the shapes of the leaves. It probably would not work on every picture- but that's the great thing about digital. You can try something and if it doesn't work, you can delete the effect and try something else! @jesperani Thanks Jennifer! @espyetta Thank you Marybeth! Somehow GA and cold don't seem to go together!
Love it in black-and-white. Appreciate the grittier texture of the wooden stairs that comes through in the shot. Reminds me of walking up my back porch--can just feel those stairs on my feet.
Nice shot, Ann! Love the processing, too! It gives it an old time feel to it. And it also makes fall a little less sad knowing that snow will be replacing the grass soon! Well done :)
no, not ready for the cold weather either. my old bones have been waiting for that polar shift they've been talking about in science magazines when we would have the equatorial climate. i suppose not in my lifetime.
