October Woods

October Woods, a photo by randubnick on Flickr.

This is a photo that I took last Sunday. We went to Long Hill Gardens here in Beverly, MA. Almost all my Long Hill photos are of the gardens planted on the estate, but there are wooded trails as well. On Sunday, we followed a little path just outside the formal gardens, which gave us a nice view of the woods. That's where I took this picture. The fall colors are amazing, and I am taking lots of pictures of leaves these days because I know they won't last long, especially with a big storm brewing. Tonight I cropped the original photo to get this composition. I think I might try to paint this scene with oil bars.
