Maple Leaf

Maple Leaf

Where does the time go? I just realized that I hadn't posted today's image. This is my favorite shot from our walk on the Cottonwood Trail. I saw this maple leaf as we got close to the parking area at the end of our walk. The backlighting by the sun kind of caught my attention and I took a few photographs of it. There is still a little bit of the season's colors around if you look for them.

Keep shooting.

Lawson's Fork Creek

Another image from our outing on the Cottonwood Trail. This is Lawson's Fork Creek which runs along and through the nature preserve. The particular area is surrounded by residential neighborhoods. There is also a Duke Power right-of-way on the property.

Keep shooting.

Seeds

Eldar Seeds on the Cottonwood Trail

It is late Autumn and most of the colors have faded and the leaves have fallen. This is also the time that plants drop their seeds. I noticed these Eldar seeds in a tree on the Cottonwood Trail. These are the kind of seeds that spin like little helicopters as they fall to the ground. This particular tree was full of them just waiting to let go of their branches. I'm sure the local birds and squirrels will have quite a nice little feast before Winter comes.

Keep shooting.
