Color in the Wrong Place?


I took these pictures a couple of days ago, but I'm enjoying them today. I worked really hard and got the second revision of News from Dead Mule Swamp done! Way too much sitting, but I'm on track with my goal to release it in e-format on Dec 1. Stay tuned for a contest to win a free copy.

Here's the sunset on Nov 15. Yes, this is a color picture. But where's the color?

Meanwhile, while all the weeds have gone to gray and brown, this goldenrod is just being a rebel and hanging on to some beautifully shaded colors. Those are just the leaves... almost looks like a poinsettia.

  5. Ratty- I think so too. I love it when yellow shades into maroon like that

    betchai- that IS it, the contrast

    Carol- dramatic, for sure

    Chuck- It does seem wintery.

    Ann- ha! Your gray picture with snow is a good twin for it

    vanilla- your B&W with the leaves fits right in

  6. I think both pictures are lovely - though the gray skies make me want to put on a warm sweater and drink a hot toddy.
