Those Sumacs in fall colors just keep lighting up the neighborhood. While, out for daily exercise, I stopped to capture some images. In the following image, I like the contrast of the duller foreground leaves in the shade, against the bright out of focus sunlit Sumac leaves in the background.<\/p>\n\n\n

The City Ditch runs through our neighborhood. At this time of the year, water still flows through the ditch. Several bridges are installed to allow trails to cross the ditch. In the following image, the water provides the ideal medium to reflect the fall colors.<\/p>\n\n\n

Continuing through the neighborhood, I found another tree that was backlit by the setting sun. There were some interesting shadows that were cast onto one of the leaves.<\/p>\n\n\n

My neighborhood walk takes me past a school. Overlooking the parking lot are several rows of grasses. Interspersed between the grasses were some bunches of flowers. On this day, the last rays of sunlight lit up these grasses before the sun dropped behind nearby houses.<\/p>\n\n\n

Finally, I made this image of the high clouds that were lit up by the setting sun.<\/p>\n\n\n
