Autumn Impressions

Like when we are feeling a little tired and cold, and we look forward to going to sleep under a warm, cozy blanket: so I like to imagine trees in the fall. The skilled brush of God paints their leaves when the first chill starts filling the air, and they wear their wonderful coat to get ready for the well-deserved rest. Colors and reflections become magical and they are pure joy for the eyes and the soul.

I am so excited when the season turns and Nature presents us such wonderful beauty, and I can't refrain myself from going out and trying to capture as much as I can with my camera. Framing what your eyes see and what your brain perceives it's not as easy as it seems, and often the shot can't make it. But the beauty of Nature in the fall is so amazing, that it's difficult not to catch at least a glimpse of it in your photographs.

Here are some autumn impressions, taken last and this year.
