Today, a recent one, taken a few days back with the others but saved for this special occasion. The mix of colors on the same sweetgum tree (Liquidambar styraciflua,) combined with the backlighting and the clear blue sky photobombing from the rear, made this an obvious choice. A bit too complicated for high art, but I’m a low art kind of guy anyway, and I wouldn’t want to disturb everyone that’s gotten used to that. Shocks like that are not good for your health.
* Which isn’t to imply that they’re bad for it either. We have a lot of speech patterns that generate unwarranted assumptions…
