(+5 insets!) Holy Toledo it's cold out there! At a mind-numbing 24°F/-4.44°C, I just couldn't handle more than 10 minutes outside this morning! After two laps up and down the driveway, I had to abandon my walk, yike-yike back inside and cling gratefully to the Monitor Heater God for warmth. For a person who's always crying about getting frozen paws, you'd think they were the reason I had to call it quits, but no! Truth is, if my face gets so cold that it hurts, I just can't stand it! How about you? What makes you abandon an adventure out in the cold? It's Monday morning and I'm back to my Fall Beauty in Medford Parking Lots series! Welcome to set 3 of 6! Hope you're not too bored of this subject…I adore this time of year with its dramatic colors and changing scenery. Today's Pictures When we arrived at the grocery store parking lot, we hopped out and Steve told me to have fun with my photography as he turned to go inside. Heh…right off the bat my eyes were riveted to a short plant that was covered with outrageous red leaves. The sun blazed through them, lighting them up into leaf-shaped stained glass windows, complete with beautiful details and marvelous shadows. My main picture celebrates just one of the glorious leaf clusters and is enhanced by bokeh created from the sun reflecting off parked cars beyond. Insets include a natural-framed leafy scene, another grand view of gingko leaves, a glowing seed pod hanging like an autumn ornament, a red maple leaf catching the sun as it lay on a lawn, and finally, a black and white view of a droplet-covered leaf in the shape of a heart! ENJOY!! Thanks everyone, for your visits, comments, and favorites! Thanks too, for posting such a wonderful array of images for me to visit. It's a joy to stop by and say hello! :D Stay safe out there! Explored on 11/10/20; highest placement #1.
