Tree Update: Later in the Afternoon
A rainy morning broke free! But I doubt my dogwood will shine with red wine color this year. It’s been too warm and too dry for too long.
I totally missed my royal red maple this fall, not that it has any fall color to speak of. Of all my trees, it loses its leaves earliest and fastest.
My little dawyck purple beech is doing well in her little pot by the kitchen window.
She’s a coppery-yellow this fall. Not sure if that’s typical though, since this year is so weird.
I got a new lens for my camera and the absolute best place to test any new camera equipment is the way I learned to use ALL my camera equipment — in nature where the light is forgiving and the subject unconditionally cooperative and patient.
Great pictures. Enjoy the new lens. There is nothing like a new piece of camera equipment to get excited over. I got a new lense last year and it was s exciting to test it out.
