I met this father and a son reading the head stones. He lamented that he didn’t have his camera with him. (What was he thinking? It’s autumn in New England for Pete’s sake.)
This is a cemetary in the center of Essex village. The leaves there were turning red and yellow on the same trees.
The drive home took my by another grave yard and I had to just pull out the camera. I was enthralled by the long shadows, the backlit sugar maple leaves and the headstones in shadows.
My wife went to the wine blogger’s conference in Sonoma. I was playing the bachelor. She took the D80 with the 18-200mm lens. I blew the dust off the Cannon PowerShot A70 and grabbed the other D80 and went out to do some leaf-peeping. I didn't know what I wanted to call this post until I realized all three of these were taken with the point-and-shoot.

The pictures are wonderful...you just can't go wrong with a Canon
;-) That's a lot of leaves too!!
I passed a cemetary this weekend and it was all yellow like this one. The only difference I didn't take any photos, my loss.
It's so interesting that you should post this right now. Yesterday in the late afternoon I was in Oak Grove Cemetery here in Gloucester and the leaves were so gorgeous and the shadows so long and dramatic I was regretting not bringing my camera.
Your work is beautiful.
Wonderful colors Steve!!
Thanks to all for stopping by again!
Eve, I used to shoot Cannon when I was shooting film. I also had a fully manual Nikon EM2. These cameras were bullet proof and were used on Antarctic expeditions.
John, Kathleen, sorry to hear you weren’t properly outfitted.
