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.

Great pictures! The goldenrod looks pretty with all of the light gray underneath.
ReplyDeletethe contrast is beautiful, both in the sky and in the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat is a fantastic sunset -
ReplyDeleteThere may not be much color in that first picture, but it is so Michigan in the winter.
ReplyDeletethat first picture looks a lot like home. Not much color around here anymore.
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. Both of them.
ReplyDeleteRatty- I think so too. I love it when yellow shades into maroon like that
ReplyDeletebetchai- 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
I think both pictures are lovely - though the gray skies make me want to put on a warm sweater and drink a hot toddy.
