After doing a lot of hiking in Southern Utah late last spring, and in Michigan this past summer, I made an important but emotional decision: leave the Big Gun Nikon and lenses behind on certain outings. I researched and decided upon a handy, mid-sized new camera that would pack more easily for air travel, and be lighter-weight for long hikes. I purchased the Fuji X-S1.
This was my very first photo, the waning seed pods of our clematis:
I forced myself to leave my Nikon at home rather than "just take it in the car" while I went on a ramble to experiment with my new camera. Yes, I headed for the hills (my favorite place!) to see if I could find signs of Fall.
I think this dried weed head might be a Cowslip because of its immense size, but
I am not sure:
A little color, but not much:
Deeper in the woods, there is only moss:
I was taken aback by this moss-covered dead tree, looking like a rooster;
a natural topiary. This was on a curvy logging road:
It will be a challenge to get the effect I like with waterfalls. I have
far to go to learn this camera!
My favorite kind of ramble is on roads like this!
Water pump in a very remote, closed-down picnic area has a fetching patina:
Even with very little color, the greens seem to be saying, "I'm important too!"
Funny thing, these colors caught my attention, and I found them on our very own street, back home
from my ramble!

Congrats on the new camera! I still love your close ups best, so really like the first three, especially with the backlight through the leaves.
