From a walk in the Arboretum.





Leaves obtain funky colors in the fall.





Some night photography: Leafs in streetlight.










My vacation this year consisted of a short trip to Big Sur, CA. I only got to spend half a day there, but made the best of it. Drove down Hwy 1 to Pfeiffer Beach. Arrived at the beach about an hour before sunset. While shooting the sunset, I was reminded that the best colors often occur after sunset. Next time I'll bring my tripod...






























Walking around in the neighborhood. I guess there's a reason why this neighborhood is called Maple Leaf.










Japanese Maple.





Have you ever noticed that the colors become super-saturated during dusk on a rainy day?





Rose in the Rain, natural light.





Rose in the Rain, mixed light (natural + streetlight). I couldn't decide which one of these rose pictures I liked the best, so I posted both of them.
