Autumn Gold

Gallery: FloraPosted August 31, 2011154 views21 comments

Went for an evening walk last night there are signs of Autumns fast approach here in the Prairies. Leaves are already turning quickly. Today was the first day back to school for my children, nothing marks the end of summer that the beginning of the school season. Winter will be here rapidly in the frozen north, Autumn only graces us with a short blink before Winter spreads her cloak across the land. Enjoy the golden moments for they are fleeting!

Bittersweet feeling. Beautiful warm golds and browns and the simple composition really make your point.

Love your description, this can be viewed best as a 20 X 30 framed print on a family room wall. Well seen and captured!

Beautiful warm tones and light, Lorna. The curves in the background line up perfectly with the stalk. Captures the coming season perfectly.

Very nice grass image. I really like the comp. and the colors. Very good job on the background. I too live on the prairie and have been having a lot of fun shooting grass of all kinds this time of year.

There is a higher light that crosses the dried waves running in the Prairies: I love it .An image so warm that can rise the temperature of a winter day. Splendid Lorna.
Take care.
