Of course you're right about that. I guess I was blinded by all the weeds in the area, and the fact that this tree was still very small.! :D I have pictures of this leaf hanging in my living room and it's great to put a name to it now after all these months. Thanks for the comment! Well DUH. Of course you’re right about that.

I believe the tree you photographed at the top of this page is a Sweet Gum. Thanks for the great pics! Hi Julie,

The best tip that I took out of that book (there were SO many more, though) was "The #1 rule of creative photography: LOOK BEHIND YOU!" I still love that book, and I go back to it often (I put it on Pg 3 of my favorite things: http://barefoot-memories.com/blog/careys-favorite-things/ So, Jules, I totally agree with you! Think you've got a great shot? LOOK BEHIND YOU! Think you're in a crappy location where there's nothing interesting? LOOK BEHIND YOU!

I really love the first one especially. You're making me jealous with all your gorgeous leaves.. We're barely changing out here, it'll still be another couple of weeks before we're transitioned and we STILL won't be as pretty as what you've got. Darn Texas. So pretty.
