A Tree

I was walking around in some nearby woodland the other day when I saw some nice light falling on this old tree. At first, I didn’t think it would make a good picture. As with most woodland pictures everything seemed so cluttered. However, I persisted and took the picture anyway and I rather like the result.

During one of my recent walks, I came across these colorful leaves, the first with very bright, saturated colors and the second rather subdued. Most of the Autumn leaves around here have already fallen. These were among the relatively few the remained.
