Fall Leaves in Lexington


Fall Leaves in Lexington

We have been having warm days, but cool nights: a good recipe for fall color. I was in Lexington (MA) this morning, and could see that the effect is intensified inland. I was early for an appointment, so I took a little walk. I saw some beautiful trees close to the visitor's center, so I took some pictures. I was standing right under this tree when I took the photograph, holding my camera up as high as I could (with zoom on). What I was after was the play of light and shadow on the leaves. Tonight I used iPhoto to crop this image out of the original, and to do some basic retouching to repair some little holes in the leaves.
