Barely Hanging On by taffy

Barely Hanging On

We left the city for a long weekend steeped in the serenity of Beaver Island during the peak autumn color period. Except it's not. Note that while there is amazing color in that leaf, it's color in A leaf, not in LEAVES. Very sad as I won't be here with peak color hits, probably sometime in the next week to 10 days. So, here's my autumn shot -- leaf was not posed -- I happened on it while walking along Bonners Landing Road.
Love it!!

Well spotted! So sad you haven't got the same colours I am seeing here in NS! A beautiful autumn image! Fav !

@pamknowler I'm enjoying seeing it through your photos! Nice to have you on almost our time zone!
October 11th, 2016  
Awesome picture.

This makes me think of O'Henry's "Last Leaf", but as you tell it, it's "First Leaf"... We certainly wish you were here with us! Next year?
October 11th, 2016  
@Weezilou Certainly a possibility -- loving the photos Pam's been posting! You all look like you're having fun.

@taffy Underscore that! I don't think I'd realized just how much she and I had in common! We're having a ball and a spectacular time!

Quite pretty! It has more color than we are likely to get- but I'm hoping the cooler nights we're having now will actually bring out a little color. Good shot!

A lot of effort for one leaf! ;-) Seriously, enjoy your weekend of serenity, and even if there was only the one leaf, this is a lovely image!
October 11th, 2016  
Great capture - I keep saying I want to capture a shot of a clear leaf falling off the trees in autumn, not managed it yet!!
October 11th, 2016  
Lovely comp and capture Fav!
October 11th, 2016  
Really nice.

beautiful shot Taffy. Our leaves seem to late turning as well. Most trees round here are still a rather dull shade of green
October 11th, 2016  
A beautiful rich colour :)
October 11th, 2016  
And I was saying to myself: "How did Taffy manage to find a leaf falling down, aim at it, focus ect., and get a shot like this". Great find and very beautiful.
October 11th, 2016

Beautiful find, that soft background is very lovely
October 11th, 2016  
Sweet.... so delicate
October 11th, 2016  
Lovely colour and light
October 11th, 2016  
Glad you found this one red leaf - even If you did have to hunt for it. What a shame to miss all the colour. This however, is most excellent on its own.
October 11th, 2016  
Great find, shame to miss the main event but very glad you saw the prelude!
October 11th, 2016  
Color is running late. But this means I am experiencing hi color now. Neat shot
October 12th, 2016  
Beautiful!
October 12th, 2016  
Lovely composition and colour, great find Taffy!

Your story made me laugh, it's the story of my creative life, ie 'you should've been here last week, next week, any other time … Lovely shot, in many ways far more expressive than a massed autumn colour shot.
October 12th, 2016  
Sorry you've missed the autumn colours. But a pretty shot of the leaf in red.
October 12th, 2016  
Well spotted. It is such a beautiful colour.
October 12th, 2016  
Bummer re your disappointing weekend but simple and eye catching
October 13th, 2016  
wonderful capture
