233 : Dogwood leaves on blue

I've been on vacation for the better part of last week, so I suppose I've got a few days worth of photos to make up.

Here are some bright red dogwood leaves against a crisp blue fall sky. I'm glad we finally had some clear skies!

232 : Nasturtium cornered

Love the sea of little lily-pad-looking leaves along the ground with a splash of color here and there.

231 : Rusted big leaf

I love how this big leaf looks like someone spilled coffee on it... adds an interesting organic element to the shot.

230 : Sunflower petal backsides

There are still a couple sunflowers up, so try to get them into the rotation every now and again. Love the little ripples running along the petals.

229 : Red/yellow dahlia from above

Couldn't actually shoot this one face on as the sun was behind it, so took this elevated angle instead. Think it turned out pretty well as it got that great green backdrop from the lawn.

228 : Backlit leaf at sunset

By the time I got home all the front yard was in shadows, so made my way to the backyard. Luckily the sun was still barely peeking above the horizon, and I got a handful of shots with the sun against the leaves of the trees in our backyard. Just like this one with the highlighted edges and some cobwebs to boot.

227 : Purple dahlia bud

Loved this little spec of purple against an otherwise green palette. Hopefully it'll bloom soon, if the frost doesn't finish it off tonight! Here's hoping for a warmer-than-expected night!
