Foto Finish--Autumn

Hi there, and thanks for stopping by!  The Foto Finish theme today is "Autumn."  Here's my entry:


This image was taken in a neighborhood near me.  These trees are planted every 20 feet or so along the main road.  When they all turn this color, oh my.  It is stunning to see.  I didn't notice the red berries until I got out of the car to take a picture.  That's one of the things I love about photography.  It opens one's eyes to things one might have missed had it not been for the camera. 

It reminds me of when I walked through a mall with my son, Erik, who was about 2 1/2 at the time.  He was quite taken with some ornamental plants that were growing inside the mall, and he kept wanting to show them to me.  I was in a hurry, and trying to hurry him along.  If you've ever tried to hurry a 2-year-old, then you know that it is impossible.  But it was a great lesson.  The lesson?  Pay attention!

Please grab my button and post it on your blog if you have one.  Help spread the word! 

Next week's Foto Finish theme will be:  Shadows
