Macros from the Trail

I took my macro lens along the Riverwalk Trail. I was hoping for a bit of autumn colour, but we didn't find much unless you count, these two poor leaves that were on the railing of one of the footbridges.

Shadows elsewhere on another railing.

There were bushes of blue berries, but I don't think they were blueberries if you know what I mean. They don't grow like that around here. Let me know if I am wrong.

Gardens abut the trail in a few spots. I liked these yellow seed pods overhanging the fence.

Light catching a few leaves out of the shadowy background. I think this final photo is my fave of the walk, but the competition wasn't that stiff yesterday. :-)

This is Sue's photo of me taking the first photo in the post of the two leaves on the railing.

  1. What! you didn't taste the blueberry? Sure looks like one to me. But I am not sure I'd have wanted any other taste in my mouth, if it weren't one. I also like the simple beauty of the last three leaves

  6. Sounds like a peaceful walk despite the limited autumn colors! Love how you captured the subtle beauty of nature along the way, especially those yellow seed pods and the light on the leaves. I just published a new blog post. Check it out here: https://www.melodyjacob.com/2024/09/watcher-2022-thriller-movie-review.html. Would love to hear your thoughts! Feel free to share it if you find it useful.

  8. Those look very like wild grapes, AC. Iwould have to see the leaves to be sure.
    A nice set of photos today, nice early Fall feel to them. Makes me smile to see you out with your camera again.

  10. Wild grapes is the best guess. There are few red trees today along the concession roads, but very few. I figure it will peak in two weeks or so if we get the right weather.
    You do have fun. Like the shadow photo.

  13. The berries look similar to those I have seen on pokeweed. You could take a photo with your iPhone and use the plant ID feature, which I've done quite often.

    Your photos just took my breath away. Thank you for your inspiring work.
