Outside my kitchen window, there is this super vibrantly colored tree. Once autumn hit, the leaves turned this stunning shade of deep red, and every time I found myself at the sink, I also found myself admiring the tree. I finally decided to go outside and try and get a picture that would do the leaves justice.
That is one thing I will say about Iowa, the fall here is very beautiful with lots and lots of colors. Coming from Utah, it was very dry and arid, there wasn't a whole lot of natural vegetation outside of the city area or deep in the mountain canyons. At first I wasn't too happy coming here, I really missed my mountains. They are far more dramatic to photograph than corn fields. But I am starting to appreciate the subtle beauty of the plains. There are so many giant, majestic trees out here, and while everyone says it's super flat, and I took that literally, there are lovely rolling hills.
In a photography course I have been studying, the instructor says great pictures can come from anywhere and anyone. Its just how you perceive and see the world around you, and then try to capture it in a way no one has thought of before. I understand that this image isn't incredibly dramatic, but I think it does justice to the color I love so much.
