It’s such a joy to take off from work early, and head out the door into the late afternoon to catch the light with your camera.
And it’s so worth the effort to get out there and see the sun shining low down in the sky. Catching the light as it glimmers through the fading petals, dancing among the leaves, sunlit and golden.
Bouncing off of the water, onto the ducks feathers, and skipping across the puddles left from too much rain. These days are a gift, left over from summer. A gift given to sustain us through winter’s grey days, and dark nights.
Take the time to get outside when you can, and when you can’t really make the time, do it anyways. After all, catching the light won’t always be a option.

Fall beauty is bittersweet...a reminder that short grey winter days are around the corner. Thanks for the nudge to soak in the warmth of the sun and colors while we can.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, I'm hoping for more sunny weather on the weekend.
ReplyDeleteOh - I agree! The autumn light is special. What stunning shots!
ReplyDeleteNice encouragement. I can't wait for some color around here....warm weather this week after lower then normal temps last week. And a wet summer so hope the color is good!

Beautiful - like a breath of crisp autumn air!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Jen. You're so right. We need to get outside and enjoy the sun when it's out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. I will out in the garden for a long 4 day weekend, but will keep these wonderful thoughts with me all fall and winter...capture the light! Fortunately my office at work has lots of windows that face the sun most of the day.
ReplyDeleteThese photos are truly exquisite. Some of your best ever!
ReplyDeleteHi Jen,
ReplyDeleteI love your photos and sentiments. I'm not having as much outdoor time as I'd like, but I am going out and just sitting to enjoy the butterflies for a few minutes at a time.
Hello Jen
ReplyDeleteI just happened across your blog, it looks lovely and strikes a chord with me, so hope you're happy for me to follow. Jane x
Jen girl this is "my light" I feel such a draw to the golden light of the afternoon it is amazing .. it is so beautiful to shoot pictures in especially just like the ones you have here with the leaves .. perfection girl !
ReplyDeleteSo I am the "Cloud Queen" eh ? LOL
Does that position pay ? haha
I have certain shots I do want to hang in that garden office of mine .. if it ever happens ? groan and moan .. it will .. it is just taking way longer than I thought .. but doesn't everything really good come from a struggle ? LOL
Joy : )
Such beautiful Fall golden pictures Jen. Yes, we must enjoy these bright sunny golden days of color. We had such beautiful weather here this weekend and I was out there soaking it in. I love the shot of the leaves with the light filtering into the leaves.Gorgeous!
