Fall Colors, Finally

 I have always thought this must be the most glorious time of the year to be a bird.  Two weeks ago I would have told you we just didn't have a good fall and then the week that school got out for Thanksgiving break the colors exploded.

I hope you will stop and enjoy the world around you.  God makes it beautiful everyday.

Fall came late

I saw these two trees as I was leaving the football stadium after shooting our first NCAA football playoff game in school history. We are on Thanksgiving break and the colors are just starting to show. IThe old saying  "better late than never" comes to mind. 

My prayer is that everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving break and Go Bisons.

Color is hard to come by this fall

 Fall colors are not peaking in Searcy this year.  I am hoping it is just still early.

These photos were shot on a Nikon D750 with a mf Vivitar Series 1  85mm F1.8 lens that was given to me by my former boss David Crouch.  I have never used a lens like this with stop down apertures but I am slowly making friends with it.

Stuck on a tree

I love fall color and this tree in the back yard was amazing this morning.


Not everything that looks good in color looks good in B&W but this tree worked. Anytime you can contrast a light tone against a dark tone you have something that will work.

A few leaf photos

There is nothing like fall colors. I have taken and tweeted a bunch of leaf photos. I've been flattered by some of my friends who have tweeted their leaf photos " in the style of @jeffdmontgomery." now it's time to blog a few of them.
