On the Ground

As you are about to witness, there were a ton of leaves on the ground in the woods yesterday, but there was still some colour up high too although usually in the distance.

Full disclaimer: I played around with texture overlays with this lot. Although I don't think you can actually see the textures, they have, nevertheless, affected  the images.



My friend, Nick, talks about looking down on the ground for photo ops, so I tried to do this a little bit. While I don't put in the time and care that he does, I do think he is onto something.

  3. Your friend, Nick, had a very good suggestion, but be careful while looking down😏. Your area is having some great color🍁

  5. Nick's right. I especially love your pinecone pic. I always look down, especially when the walk is somewhat covered because of tree roots and such. It's still lovely in your world.

  6. I'm always looking down to make sure where I'm walking, and you see a lot that way.

  7. Nice images! We are having big rain today so it is very soggy. I presume you will get the sogginess soon too.

  10. I'm always drawn to "pathway" photos, and these are enticing. But I'll admit the looking down photos have great texture!

  11. John also takes ground photos which I never think to do. He's much more observant than I am.

  12. I catch myself looking down at the road while walking, and have to remind myself to look up and around me. There is nothing to see on the road besides caterpillars and the odd dead snake. And animal tracks.

  19. Since I live in a heavily wooded area, most of the cool views are down low on the ground so I enjoy looking down.
    However, your fall photos are beautiful compared to what I am seeing where I live right now. The harsh winds this weekend blew most of the leaves off the trees!
    Beautiful photos.
