Rhythm of the fall leaves 秋楓妙韻

Yesterday was Saturday, the vacation on a 3-day long weekend just began. At 1:30pm I drove 180km north of Toronto to a small town Gravenhurst to look for fall leaves and for photography. I arrived there at 4pm. The sky turned gloomy and rain began. This had not reduced my interest in viewing fall leaves. I went to a small park and the maple leaves there had already changed to many attractive colors.

There was a small pool of rain water on the path with some colorful maples leaves afloat.  Some leaves held the shiny rain droplets. Apart from viewing, I took photos and made this album "Rhythm of the fall leaves".

Photo equipment:
Nikon D300s, Nikon GP-1 GPS

昨天是星期六，是一連三天長周末假期的開始。下午一時半，駕車到多倫多以北一百八十公里的小鎮 Gravenhurst ，尋楓獵影。四時抵達，天色變暗，開始下著微雨。雖然如此，也沒有減少我賞楓的興緻。走到一處小公園，楓葉已開始顯現班麗的色彩。我發現地上一潭水，浮著七彩的楓葉，有一兩片卻盛着小雨點，玉露珠光。觀賞之餘，我拍下這輯《秋楓妙韻》。

一片秋楓，半個水泡，漣漪為兩顆跳動的水珠伴奏。

It is raining.  The riffles appear one after the other.  This is rhythm of the fall!

下着雨，漣漪微漾，此起彼落。這是秋韻！
