It's really blotchy here. Some trees are almost bare, some are around peak color and others have barely started turning colors. We have two huge maple trees on our back property line and they're still mostly green and haven't really dropped many leaves yet. Our City's leaf pickup for this season starts next week and goes through mid-November so I'm hoping they drop soon.

 

Well, after some driving around the area yesterday I finally found a good enough spot. Just a couple of changing trees, though, but at least it's enough to tell it's a fall-season scene.

So here's my entry, just for the heck of it:


Maybe the empty trees could stand for the ones we've lost so soon.

 

I spent some time cruising Springbank Park in London today and got some pretty good shots actually. But green is still the predominant color (other than the red car). I'm still choosing - my favorite isn't the most colorful one. And I still have to set up a Postimage.org account...

 

3 pics for 3 friends....

Eventually I'll choose one of these as an "official entrant". I can't seem to decide yet, but I wanted to share






That is how London, Ontario looked today. I did jack the color level a bit in the editor.


Hopefully I can still get some time to do a Christmas shot before putting the car away. Will the participation be there? It's probably to late for a Halloween contest now...

 

That's a great idea to do three of your best shots for each of our passed friends to here are mine, I will choose one of them on Sunday as well.







I think we can work a Halloween contest in as well, my neighbor across the street has got all kinds of stuff I can use for a backdrop. Providing the wind doesn't blow it away. I will put the Halloween thing up on Sunday eve. Then we can try an work in a Christmas theme too.

 

 

Wait - I'm comfuseded.

Was I choosing one of my pics to go forward with or entering them all? With the limited entries received, I would suggest we just vote on all of 'em. If I got pick just one, I'm going to use a spinning game wheel at wheeldecide.com - it's how I make all my important decisions

 

Okay we can do that I was hoping that we would have had a few more entries by today but it appears that the leaves weren't as colorful for everyone or the other photographers didn't get there film back form the developers in time.
So it appears we have 7 entries I will get that all going for the vote shortly.

 

Honestly guys the color here has been 'good enough' but I just haven't had time to get the car out.
