Every year, a new layer of leaves is deposited on the ground, nurturing the earth and freeing space for a spring rebirth. Life feeds off death and thrives on the continuous renewal of its forms. As humans, we are in a unique position of being able to notice it. Maybe that’s what we are here for: to bear witness and to become aware of the silent sorrow of all living things as they are called on to leave this beautiful world.
Thanksgiving marks the farewell to autumn in the Central Valley of California. To honor the season, I made the featured image. It is an off camera composite based on three photographs I took while on a walk at the UC Davis Arboretum with a photographer friend. I stacked the images in photoshop, in layers, and played with their opacities until I achieved the desired effect.
Wishing my followers in the USA a Thanksgiving filled with food, joy and love.
In this holiday season, don’t forget to hug those you love and to tell them how important they are to you. Resolve issues, forgive, make peace. Life is short, it goes fast and no one is guaranteed tomorrow.
Below, a few more images of Autumn.
