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.
I love fall!
It's in my blood.
Since I was given my first camera, when I was a little kid, I have always been fascinated by capturing in a shot what my eyes were seeing around me. The beauty of nature or the smile of a friend, an event or an emotion... Precious pearls to be framed in a photo. Whether freezing a movement or moving the stillness, looking at normality through a different angle or portraying the exceptional, I can choose different perspectives, I can catch reality. I think this passion is in my blood, I inherited it from my Grandpa and then from my Dad, and it has always had a great influence in my life. Come and follow me in my journey searching impressions of life.

Flower Show Magic – part 1
If you have the chance to go to a flower show, you'll discover a whole universe of opportunities for your photography. Not only flowers and plants, but also insects, objects, set ups, tools and, depending from the location, other bonus features.
In addition to my love for gardens, that's also why I like to visit Orticolario, the flower show which takes place at the beautiful Villa Erba, on the Como Lake. Anemone was the chosen flower theme for 2016.
And with this kind of subjects, I have the possibility to try my hand at one of my long-time passions, though not used that much recently, macro-photography. I am fascinated by the exploration of things in close-up, and sometimes even the most insignificant thing may become extraordinary when we look at it in the smallest detail.
Here's a first group of shots, all in natural light.

Fall Again
I really love this season, wonderful and visually striking with an explosion of colors all around us. And when there is a sunny day like last Saturday, the beauty of nature is even more extraordinary.
I want to share a few more Autumn images taken during a quick visit to a natural park not far from home, the Parco di Montevecchia e valle del Curone, where Denise and I spent a few hours, looking for nice spots to photograph. Thanks to Cristina for the tip!
