Autumn Blessings

Pre-camera years, I bemoaned the arrival of Autumn as Winter’s harbinger. The lens, however, has the magical ability to transform one’s perceptions. Suddenly, I have new appreciation for golden forests, and white flowers lingering against a backdrop of fallen leaves:

Even the robin, typically associated with the onset of Spring, exudes new charm amid the oranges of this inspiring season.

Always interesting to look through the lens at what I’ve “sorta seen” with scanning eyes … the lens brings detail to the fore while focusing camera … and while viewing great images shared (like theses) – hurrah for this autumn robin!

  I think they are gathering to head south – the bush was full of them. Thanks Jazz. Loving my camera.

Your pictures and thoughts are just wonderful! The camera opened a new world for me, too. Sadly, we don’t get autumn colours where I live.

  Autumn colours are wonderful, and they portend severe cold and snow, so it’s a trade off.
