Just About Covering It

I've been away for a while.

And now I'm back. Here's some Autumn photos.

I think that about covers it?


It's hard not to like this time of year. *sighs dreamily* I think this is an oak?


My folks' driveway. High-pressure water cannon required. Thankfully, they'll do it as soon as they know I posted this name-and-shame photo.


Under the canopy, the change is not complete. Kinda metamorphic, I guess?


You know, I think they squeezed several crops in this year. This must be the stubble from crop number three?


Yep. Autumn, Love these colours under a blue sky.


I've tried to take this picture several times over the past year. Finally, it's about right.


I know, I know...


You may remember a similar shot to this on my 2014 calendar? It's one of my favourites. Well, this is the same place, different season, still moody.


My first ever "sunshine" shot. Which sounds dodgier than I intended.


I saw the turning trees yesterday, but couldn't stop. They were under the "golden hour" sunshine, and alive with colour. Today? Not so much. There's a lesson in there somewhere.


The Bedfordshire hills. Very pretty today, tho dozing happily. 


The road outside my house. Cool, huh?

  3. Beautiful, well-composed photos! The ones of oak leaves against the sky are like stained glass windows. My compliments and admiration.

    2. Thanks Delores. I actually thought they were a bit samey, and left a few out in the end, but I'm delighted you like what I went with. And yes, that is a lovely spot for photos, just outside Shefford in Bedfordshire, UK. Indigo x

    1. Okay, three of you have confirmed, so I'll assume it must be an oak. *makes note* O.A.K. Check. And thank you x

  7. Lovely to see you here again, and to see your photos. You've captured the gray moody sky, the patterns underfoot, and the fabulous October light, which seems to be quite similar to Minnesota's. I love your high-canopy transition shot, and when I saw your photo #5 I did a double-take because it's so much like one I took a couple of years ago. Cheers!

    1. Hey Nancy! Thanks, it's nice to feel creative enough to take some shots again. It's been a funny few months. I'll try to keep at it, and maybe even get some writing done =) Indigo x

  8. Moss is good. Lichen is even better and should never be removed as it takes years to grow, of course. Great photos, I should take a picture of the Virginia creeper on my house, but I expect the wind will remove the red leaves and just leave the stalks by the time I remember.

    1. Hey Alistair! Nope, they don't hibernate, it seems. Right now they're emptying my frigde and stealing my left over pizza. Yes, you heard that right; they delivered TWO table-sized ones instead of one. I was gonna have the rest for breakfast. Indigo

  12. Two and Three are my VERY favorites. WOW. Your photography is so amazing. And the sun through the leaves... so pretty. We don't have as many fall leaves yet, but they are coming!

    I can't get over how beautiful your home town is!

    1. Hey Katherine! I'm always surprised by which photos folk like. I suppose I must like all of them to share them in the first place =) Your own photos are lovely, and you have such a wonderful place to take them. So, I guess we're both blessed ;) Indigo x
