I always enjoy these shots Heather and yours is exceptionally well done.

I love this type of capture especially with the autumn colours against the blue sky. The trees sure do look massive and strong the way you have captured them. Nicely done Heather.

Thank you Yves. I like your description of this one and indeed it is a tapestry created by nature the way I see it. I think the darker trees were in the shade since the photo was taken later in the day at Hilltop Lake in the Saddle Hills.

Wonderful capture. As if an inkblot is put before us using the tree leaves and blue sky. Now do you lay on the ground or just put the camera on the ground?

Very nice Heather. Fall is the good time for those upward shots through the trees. The vanishing point is perfect. I see it as a kind of tapestry with yellow and blue pattern. Appreciate the white trees on the right opposed to the black ones on the left. I love that shot.
