One alternate title for the NBC show “Friends” was “Insomnia Cafe”. I read it on a Snapple bottle cap, so it must be true.

I like these, Ken. Autumn in a higher key…
Thanks, Mic. I agree. I wanted a higher key in these photos. Of my 3 bracketed exposures, I used the 1 stop over for these.
Nice.
No. 3 appeals for the leaf details. No. 1 for the artsy feel of it.
No. 2 . . . well, one of them has to be last, mostly because it branches away from the others, barking its own — and different — tune.
Thanks, E. You’re right, #2 is different from the others but I wanted to include it since this tree is destined to come down soon. It’s been an inspiration since I’ve lived here.
I hate taking down trees, but sometimes there’s no helping it.
It breaks my heart to take it down. If there is a bright side I’d say that it was a high-maintenance tree and I’ll have extra time every day for other things.
These make me smile. Looking up at the chaos, you weren’t deterred, instead, you were inspired. 🙂 River birch? I like the main photo very much, also the perspective in #026-2.
Thanks, Lynn. Yes, it’s one of 2 River Birch in the yard. When the sun is in the east it puts on a beautiful show for us. I’ll be sad to see it go.
River birches are such nice trees. Maybe you can do bark studies during the winter months…
Oh, I have LOTS of bark studies!!!
OK…let’s see them! One of these days…there’s no such thing as a late bark study. 😉
A long, long time ago I took my first trip to San Francisco. I was shooting Kodachrome then. My slide show consisted of 30 shots of the Palace of Fine Arts and 110 shots of tree bark. Be careful what you wish for,
🙂 !!!
The leaves look like glowing sequins!
Thanks, Howard. I think the backlighting has something to do with that.
