Orange on Peach

As my better half always says, "Jeese, take a step back and see what's in the picture... background, background, background. Do you see what you're doing?" Now, to be perfectly honest, she's mostly not talking to me, and for that I thank my lucky stars! To be perfectly honest on this one, I saw the background, but I never saw the tree... just the 'peachness' of the side wall of the house. As you can see, the black-lined branches are starting to show themselves here on the West End. The house is peach with the orange leaves holding on for dear life on a side street. Fall wanes.

  3. I imagine those leaves will be on the ground by the end of the weekend. Then that peach wall will feed the spirit all winter with only the bones of the trees to obscure views of it.

  4. Interesting how those leaves blend right in with the background created by the house.

  5. Maybe the tree is trying to camouflage itself. . .
    Beautiful colors!

  11. Nice photo, Birdman. Sometimes you just see things without dissecting the parts.

  12. You got it. More that one photography teacher has hectored me with the phrase "the photographer is responsible for everything in the frame." No light poles growing out of someone's head! And I still screw this up over and over.
