Just a few days ago, I was mocking this maple tree because it was showing so much red in the summer time.

Today, this bit of glorious foliage makes more sense…

It’s amazing what a week makes. I drive on I95 most days, and the stretch through New Hampshire has come alive with red, orange, and yellow. It’s not prime foliage season; not yet, at least. Still, trees are starting to make the turn. The world is starting to turn its gaze away from summer.

Short on time, so I’m just grabbing a recent photo and throwing it up. Still really enjoying the new 50mm lens. This is the only image I’ve taken that really shows it’s a seven blade shutter.

I didn’t end up with any photo that accurately portrayed how beautiful it was the morning of 2/27. This was as good as it got, and it just pales in comparison to reality.

Happy belated birthday, Mom…

A maple tree started growing between my driveway and garage this year. I let it grow, and it’s finally turning red. When the leaves fall, I will go ahead and pull it out…

Snapped this on my way out of the dentist’s office. Also got a few shot of some geese (below) on my way back to the office.

A walk to the neighbors to view a very overpriced yard sale yielded this shot of a single red maple leaf sitting on the black top.
