The weather was cold and cloudy in the morning but luckily the sun made it through the low clouds and we could admire the bright colors of alders and birch trees.
I love fall!

Autumn Colors
Autumn has been pretty warm this year, leaves turned colors a little later than usual and that allowed us to see the last colors even this late, in mid November. Temperature is turning down now, though, and winter is coming.
The weather was cold and cloudy in the morning but luckily the sun made it through the low clouds and we could admire the bright colors of alders and birch trees.

Light and Colors
Spring is definitely here and finally Nature is waking up after the winter sleep. Temperature is mild and taking a walk in the park is very pleasant, with colors and flowers everywhere.
Natural beauties surround me and my camera is the perfect "tool" to reveal even the littlest things that often remain unseen or unnoticed by many. And it's too important to stop and look at what is around us, to appreciate what the Lord has given us and to thank Him for being able to witness such wonderful creation.
Light and colors play together to make Nature even more beautiful and I can't resist to try and grasp at least a little glimpse of that beauty...

The Colorful Bee-eater
Where has it gone the promise to post a new photo every week? Wow, my posts have been really scarce recently...
I am finally editing some shots taken last summer. Not my absolute first, by my first passable shots of the Merops apiaster, the European Bee-eater.
I was finally able to find and photograph this wonderful bird thanks to the help of my friend Marco, after a couple of unsuccessful attempts to find this colony breeding by the river. The birds build their nests digging them into the ground or the sides of earth cliffs, often close to water. As the name tells, they hunt mostly insects, with often a dominant number of bees and wasps, but it's common seeing them catching beetles, dragonflies and butterflies. Sometimes they toss the insect into the air to eat it from the proper part, for an easy swallowing.
What hits the most are the beautiful colors of this bird, which can be seen from a distance without possibility of mistake.

Pumpkin Galore 2!
Winter is here. Almost every morning frost is covering the grass and creating wonderful ice decorations on leaves and branches. But before abandoning completely the warmth of fall colors, please allow me to share some more pumpkins and squash images I took, this time in a different setting than the first batch posted some time ago.
I decided to create a strong contrast between the background and the vivid colors of the subjects, using a black backdrop and artificial lights. Enjoy!

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.
