The Colors of Fall

Taken in June of last year and finally processed today, I was driving toward Baraboo looking for a particular…… Continue reading Lamp-Lite Motel

It was in late September of 1997 or 1998 and I propped my Nikon FM2 up on the dash, centered the car on the yellow line…… Continue reading Texas Highway

“As fall the light autumnal leaves, one still the other following, till the bough strews all its honors on the earth below.” –Dante Alighieri A carpet of fallen Maple leaves cover the ground in our backyard. Day 47 of my 365 photo a day project.
