The Golden Hour

Saturday Self-Challenge: Back-lighting

Spring has definitely arrived where I live, and all the trees are putting out their leaves! One of my favorite kind to photograph are the leaves from a Japanese maple growing in front of my house. Thursday I was able to leave work early, and the weather was absolutely gorgeous, so when I came home I was able to enjoy photographing these brand new leaves in front of the setting sun.

Have a Blessed Easter weekend, everyone! I hope Spring a has arrived where you live, dear Pam!

Oh wow Val, this is absolutely stunning. I just love the colour of your leaf here - it does look like an autumnal colour yet it's the colour it starts with in the Spring. I just love the back lighting which highlights the beauty of this leaf.

No words, Val - it's perfect ! All the warm colors I like so much in only one pic. Fabulous !
Yes, we have a wonderful spring this year. First we thought, this grey, wet winter never would end. And suddenly it changed: to something like "spring-summer". All the nature around: an explosion in green and lighting . The best time of the year. Enjoy it ! Happy Easter to you and your all family.
