After weeks of constant and sometimes torrential rain we had a halfway decent day today. The sunrise was a pretty one over the city

Playing around with some images taken at Bear Creek Park a while back to make a diptych using a program called Dipstych. There is something about them that appeals to me.
Gazebo

On the bench in our gazebo a few of these leaves were scattered. I think the red autumn leaves have always been my favourite.

These two were hanging out by the gazebo in the garden, a few inches over was a HUGE spider which I discovered thankfully not the hard way a second or two later.
Yep they are in shadow but I like the way it highlights their shape and differentiates them from the out of focus red leaves in the background.
Fresh and Green

A set of headless mushrooms in a local park. I love the vivid green cast to the left side of the photo from the nearby blade of grass. It was one of those days where it had been raining in the morning and by noon opened up to blue skies and sunshine and everything was still fresh and dewy not to mention a little bit damp. So were my knees after this picture.
Reflected

Darn that wind, a few minutes before this shot I had a perfect reflection of the trees in still water, ah well.
Like last year it has been difficult to catch trees in the full glory of autumnal colour change round these parts. It seems that the trees are taking turns changing and for that matter some seem reluctant to give up the green.
October Flowers

October has arrived and with it just the hint of colour change in the leaves and the last hurrah of the hearty flowers.
Watercolour

Just a random purple posy of some sort in a local park. I just liked the way it reminds me of a watercolour painting, delicate with a bit of bokeh thrown in for good measure.

Fairhaven Washington

Once a boom town in anticipation of becoming a port city, Fairhaven’s hopes were dashed when Seattle was given that distinction. Fairhaven is technically now part of Bellingham, but a bit further south from Bellingham proper. There are plenty of photo ops in the gorgeous brick buildings of the district and lots of neat little shops to poke around in. Worth a visit if you’re ever in the area.
