We are having record high temperatures here for beginning the second week of October 2007. The fall foliage has not yet reached its color however the leaves are falling creating a carpet that catches a photographers eye. I like to catch the light in that JUST SO way on an individual leaf creating a portrait of that exact moment. I have often gone back to get a shot and found in only a minute what I saw had disappeared because the light had changed. Same way with life...catch it in the moment or it may be gone.
