Take one photograph, play around with it a little, create 3 new ones, all different.
Add some autumn haiku, since it’s almost spring.
That was fun.
Yellow maple leaves
Rattling wildly in the wind –
Autumn’s prayer flags
Obsession with time
Is climbing trees in autumn
To get down the leaves.
The last yellow leaf
Hovers above the brambles
Waiting for the wind.

These are just lovely!! I have a strange obsession with things being in 3s, so this post has pleased me very much indeed. Thank you, Mick. Have a super day.

Thank you, Lucy. Hope you have a fantastic day, too.
Threes seem to be a natural thing, for reasons I can never work out.

Very nice work Mick. I love the shadings on the pics and autumn words go very well with them.

Excellent! Very enjoyable and neat effects on the photos.
Sometimes my Fall obsession has been the thought of climbing trees in autumn, to glue the leaves on, so we can enjoy the colorful foliage a bit longer.

Oh, that doesn’t work, Robert. they fall off again almost as soon as you’ve glued them back on. It’s a never- ending task.
Nailing them back on works better, but it somehow never looks quite right.
But thank you!

Mick, this was fun to read and look at as well!! I love the different effects of the pictures and your accompanying words. Particularly striking to me was the comparison of the yellow maple leaves as ‘Autumn’s prayer flags’. Beautiful and poetic!

Thanks, Annika. When the leaves have dried somewhat, and are being rattled by the wind, they always put me in mind of strings of prayer flags blowing about.
