Hanging Hearts
It’s not difficult to understand the thinking behind the common name of this garden favorite – bleeding heart. Its heart-shape pink or white blooms with a protruding tip make it a logical choice.
Bleeding hearts are a species of flowering plant in the poppy family. These bleeding hearts are from ,my wife’s flowerbed near our house.

Maple Uprising
This tiny maple sapling is rising up from the crowded forest floor, determined to make a place for itself in the world. Springtime renewal is emerging in Northeast Wisconsin.

Ending On A High Note
When this photo was made, most of the leaves in the forest had fallen. These red leaves were some of the last hold outs. Even though their days were numbered, they were making the most of their time…going out in dramatic fashion…in a blaze of red.

Autumn Warmth
These changing maple leaves take on a different, muted quality when shaded from the afternoon sun by the colorful leaves above them.

October Canopy
“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” ~ Albert Camus
The changing leaves from this maple tree provided a colorful autumn canopy.

Autumn Apparition
The natural blending of shape, texture and warm colors make autumn one of my favorite seasons. Autumn is a favorite time of year for all photographers. My photographer friends will agree, the fall colors don’t last nearly long enough.
I hope you find this particular artistic, abstract interpretation of autumn appealing. It is the combination of accident and experimentation. The accident was taking the shot after accidentally changing a setting that ended up taking a 0.8 second exposure. The long exposure created the blurring and multiple vision. Then I took the image and experimented with various digital enhancements to sharpness, saturation, etc. After fiddling with a lot of different options, I settled on this version of the image.
In my experimentation, I also came up with a monochrome version. I’m not sure if I like it well enough to share it. I’m still considering it.

It’s A Spring Thing
The fanciful colors of spring are sprouting with the new branch of a young tree. Spring came late this year but, in this case, it came with a burst of color.

Emerging from the Darkness
Soon, the snow will fade from the forest floor and the trees will wake from their winter slumber and begin to sprout new life. These are early spring sprouts from a couple of years ago. I photographed them in a wooded area late in the afternoon, when a combination of light and shadow created a wonderfully dramatic effect.

Luminescent Leaves
I really like the warm color, the shape, the lines and the texture of these autumn leaves. The brighter light behind them gives them a unique quality.
In the autumn, I spent a lot of time taking photos of the colorful leaves covering the woodland floor. This is one occasion when I pointed the camera upward. This image doesn’t accurately convey the weather conditions at the time this shot was snapped. It looks like a sunny fall day, but it was actually overcast with a very fine mist/drizzle in the air. I guess my camera had a brighter perspective.

Season Finale
This collection of fall foliage caught my attention for the diversity in form and color. The leaves were wet, which seems to bring out the best of their rich, deep colors. Even the contrast provided by the white bark of the help the colors pop.
This image is even more impressive viewed large. Click the photo and see for yourself.
