Reaching for Autumn
by John Rogers on Sep.10, 2009, under HDR, Texas, Travel
According to my iPhone it’s 75 degrees outside, and it’s raining. Those are two wonderful things in Austin Texas where we have just experienced the hottest, driest, summer on record. Perhaps (probably) it’s my imagination, but I can taste the slightest hint of Autumn & I can’t wait. I’m ready to sleep with the windows open & feel the trepidation of slipping out from underneath the warm blankets in the early morning. I’m ready to pull on a sweater & light a fire in the fireplace. And, I’m ready to go on my annual pilgrimage seeking out the colors of Autumn. Last year there was a beautiful display of color at the Lost Maples State Park in the Texas hill country. Here is another image from that trip. Any suggestions where I should go this year?
Lost Maples “Flaming Tree”

It may seem odd, but this image I call “Flaming Tree” reminds me of a nice cooler time. It’s been hot in Texas lately. Over 100 degrees almost every day for many many days… While “Flaming Tree” may be blazing with warm colors, it takes me back to a beautiful crisp autumn morning last November in Lost Maples Natural Area in Texas. I think it may be time to go to Antarctica on a photo expedition…
