One day back in early December I was a little early picking son up from work. So I ventured over to nearby Woodward Park and took some photos.
It’s a small park but it is loaded with trees, ponds, and other interesting things to explore.
Still lots of Fall Color back then and they had a pond that made for some good reflections.
The sun was low, so much the better for the light.
Plus it was still warm in the late afternoon.
And I was shooting RAW using the Halide App for my iphone. Shooting RAW eats up memory and the plain photos are awful to look at but you can run it through Lightroom or Snapseed and since to get them looking better.
So i had me a ball taking photos for about 15 minute before I had to go fetch the kid.
I ran one photo through my DynamicAutoPainter Program.
And this is a jigsaw puzzle that I recently completed of the Canyonlands area of the Southwest USA. I didn’t take the photo so I don’t own the copyright but I am sure somebody does. It was a lot easier to do than I thought it was going to be. First I did all the edge pieces then I did the edge of sky vs land and then the no cloud vs clear sky andthen there were all sorts of horizontal lines to work on. It was fun.
I’m linking to Skywatch Friday and My Corner of the World.
…you struck gold.
Leaves on trees. Our is all bare.
You are right, the colours are wonderful! Great photos.
Love them, especially the trees, Florida doesn’t have many trees that change colors.
It was a beautiful day in the park – loved the photos
Gorgeous reflections! I like the auto painter edit. Very cool!
Posting tomorrow but commenting tonight. You picked a great time for photos (golden hour?) such nice lighting and reflections. It being warm was a bonus.
Beautiful colors.
Uy que bellas fotos ame los arboles. Te mando un beso.
All delightful captures!
Stunning colours and light in these shots.
Oh the beauty of fall colors.
Worth a Thousand Words
The reflections are gorgeous! I like the special effects too, but I think the real pictures are the best.
Beautiful hues of winter landscape. I too love snapseed but never come across RAW captures in android
Those fall colors are stunning, and the reflections in the pond are beautiful. And that jigsaw puzzle looks challenging but rewarding!
Hello,
The Autumn colors and trees are beautiful. I love the reflections too.
Great collection of photos. The puzzle does look like a challenge.
Take care, have a great day!
I sure wish I was posting photos and prose about Costa Rica. It would be a lovely destination and get us away from the bitter cold in NJ right now. Maybe one day. We are going to Jamaica soon. I can’t wait.
My comment went through without content, so sorry about that. I wanted to comment on all the beautiful yellows in your photos. I have never seen Dynamic autopainter app, I will be checking that out soon. Thanks for hosting.
Golden hour!
Amazing place, Great photos.
Loved landscape art work.
Happy weekend Greetings.
That ‘is’ a pretty park. It’s so good that it was able to hold on to its fall colors a little longer.
And soft lighting is always a blessing. 🙂
May 2025 bring you more pretty sights! 🙂
