Tree Canopy

My son and I were walking around our neighborhood yesterday and I saw this photo op.  I love this particular area anyway, but it just spoke to me more yesterday than ever before.  I think it is the combination of the sogginess, leaves on the pavement, and the way the light is coming in through the canopy that really got me.

 I have seen this area in all kinds of weather, and with the rain we have been getting, it really looks fall-ish on the ground, but spring-ish in the trees.  The mailbox kinda kills it for me, but this is in front of a house, so what can you expect?

Water Droplets on a Leaf

I borrowed a friend's Nikon to shoot this shot. My camera was at home and this is just outside of work. It had been raining pretty heavy yesterday, and once the sun came out, I decided to see what I could get.

I am pretty happy with how this turned out. I didn't do any Pixelmatoring, other than resizing and putting my name in bright green on the picture. I prefer to keep editing to an absolute minimum and focus more on in camera settings and composition.
