Autumn colors 2013

Here it is late October and the Ouachitas are just beginning to turn.  Even though the woods are mostly green, there’s still plenty of autumn color around. Photos taken today and yesterday.

Leaves

Trolling the woods for something to shoot this morning. Not much going on this morning; just some fresh raccoon scat, dead insects and hickory nuts with the nut meat removed. Did like the backlit leaves. This gallery combines images from this morning with ones taken earlier this month.

After the rain still life.
