Photos taken on a recent back road ramble chasing estate sales.

Fall is here and the leaves are changing. We don't get the massive displays other parts of the US get, so we enjoy what we can.

I saw the lightplay on these red leaves from across the yard while working on a car. Just had to shoot it!

A co-worker brought me some fall leaves from her vacation trip. She knew I would take some pictures of them. Sepia treatment for that "old" look.

Bokeh in the Weeds

I needed to try to use my 50mm lens more, and I need more practice in capturing Bokeh by design rather than by luck and chance. Shooting in Aperture Priority and manual focus, I managed to get some results like I was looking for. The reddish clumps out of focus are some dead leaves.
