Autumn color will soon be a distant memory and even though it was not a banner year for color here in Lancaster county, there were pockets of nice color sprinkled around the area. This farm is one I have noticed the last three fall seasons and every time I waited a bit to long and mother nature would throw a curve ball. This year I noticed it transforming, then forgot about it for a couple days and when I checked it was already dropping! I left work this day with no intention of going here but as I headed home the sky started to light up and off I went. When I got there the sun was a perfect ball with some time left till it would hit the horizon. If you look at the first image, just off to the left behind the white fence is a pond and the sun was a perfect reflection in the pond! Trouble is To see the reflection you had to back up until you were at a neighboring house to see it. Well I rang the doorbell and of course no one was home so I had to concede the shot wasn’t happening! So the sun went down, the sky got decent but I really wondered what the view from down at the pond was like? I knocked and prepared for the worst but the Husband and wife couldn’t have been more welcoming. They basically said have at it, and as the light faded I managed to get two images with the third being taken a little earlier. The ironic part of my adventure was the owner told me the house I wanted to shoot from was his sons! hopefully one day I can pull that shot off.
absolutely beautiful! Especially since today we here in Ohio are covered in snow.
Wow, Didn’t hear that. It got colder but no snow!
Wow, these are wonderful and the sky is beautiful. Great work!!
Thank you!
I love the first shot, especially. That colorful sky adds so much to the picture. Beautiful!
I tried to comment, but don’t see that it went through. Just wanted to say that I love the colorful sky in the first photo – that it “makes” the photo for me. Beautiful!

Thanks, it was even better before I finally started shooting but this is still nice.
