With overcast skies and below-seasonal temperatures anticipated for several days yet, I am hungry for bright colors, which are all too scarce on my daily Piney Woods Church Road walks. Today I glimpsed a flash of brilliant red, when a cardinal alighted in a loblolly pine tree at the intersection with Hutcheson Ferry Road. Alas, my +10 macro lens was on at the time, and by the time I had unscrewed it and pointed the camera toward the pine branches, the bird was gone. Fortunately, though, water oak leaves this time of year are quite obliging (and far less ambulatory). I don’t think I could ever be sated by all the possibilities these leaves furnish for photographs evocative of stained glass windows.
