Fall Walkabout | a 7 Image Story This walkabout turned out to be my last fall color walk through the local woods before the leaves all fell signaling winter’s impending arrival. Upon entering the woods, soft afternoon light revealed a path covered with freshly fallen leaves. In fact, so many leaves had fallen, it was sometimes difficult to differentiate the path from the forest’s floor. The leaves crunched beneath my feet as I walked along the path.
The sound seemed bit louder with a calm wind. Although it was quite a distance, the white-tailed deer easily heard me walking. Upon seeing the deer, I stopped to change to a telephoto lens. The deer just stood its ground. After the deer went on its way, a tree trunk provided a nice rest and a place to change the lens again. Off hiking again, I lost the trail several times and walked off through the woods until stumbling over fallen branches. The stream runs along the eastern edge of the woods and really only flows after a significant rain. Wildlife use the stream as a pathway through the woods and surrounding area. Looking back from the foot bridge near forest’s edge, I promised myself to come back in the winter’s snow. This week’s posts will showcase on these seven images.
Each image will be posted individually this week with a bit more narrative under category Fall Walkabout.
