This year has flown past. It’s hard to believe it’s already November. Elections are over.  The oak trees are slow to shed their leaves, so our woods are still leafy. The final dropping of the oak leaves won’t happen until December, sometimes as late as January.

Morning is my favorite time of day and when I am most inspired to take pictures. I’m lucky that the view from my deck — just outside my kitchen — is inspiring.

I think it’s the color and angle of the light that makes it so appealing. Pale yellow in spring, warmer yellow in summer. In autumn, it’s soft amber. In winter, the light is tinged with blue.

I love the way sunlight filters through leaves, but even when the leaves are gone, I love the light, the mist. The reflection of sunlight on snow, the shadows on the tree bark.

Most were taken a few days ago, early in the morning, the first in Jackman, Maine early in October.

While the coffee was brewing, I grabbed a camera and shot a few frames. These  didn’t need processing, just a bit of cropping and resizing.
