Bright Leaf
A red Maple leaf on Ivy leaves.
A look back at some of my personal favorite square photos from previous months of squares. Some were popular, some not so popular at the time.
This was a post in Bright Squares Month and is my day 25 contribution to Becky’s October Squares on the theme of Past Squares.
January Squares: Up #2
Opened Up all the way.
An ongoing experiment photographing flowers and plants with various unusual lenses. In this case a fast portrait lens gave me a nice soft but colourful background.

This is my contribution to the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge: The Ordinary prompt.
I hadn’t given the prompt much thought when I went for a walk around the neighborhood last Sunday afternoon. I set out with a wide angle lens on the camera and a short telephoto in a pocket. I probably hadn’t walked 100 yards before deciding I had picked the wrong lens and swapped to the telephoto.
I should add that it’s very rare for me to take a second lens on one of my walks but I’m glad I did last Sunday. All the photos in this post are from that walk with the short telephoto on the camera.

A group of three.
Hundreds of Maple leaves.
Still a touch of green.

Not a selective colour treatment, the colour and tones are pretty much as they came out of the camera. I used Snapseed to add a vignette and lens blur around the edges of the frame to focus attention on the leaf.

My Flora and Fauna Friday post this week is the Fly Agaric fungi (Amanita muscaria).
These two specimens were photographed on Bickerton Hill in southern Cheshire, England in autumn.
Taken shortly after sunrise in warm light. Unfortunately the slugs and snails had been eating them overnight so I tried to compose the photos to hide as much of the damage as possible.
Leaf veins, a sign of autumn approaching. Taken on a walk Saturday afternoon.
Something of a rare occurrence for me recently, I had an auto focus macro lens on the camera.
This is my contribution to Dale’s Cosmic Photo Challenge: Ordinary Everyday Objects prompt.
I had photographed various Maple leaves on a couple of recent walks around the neighborhood. It occurred to me that there wasn’t many things more ordinary and everyday in this part of Ontario, especially at this time of year. After all, there’s a red Maple leaf on the Canadian flag.
