23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Fall Foliage or Stained Glass?

I have always loved using my plain,no bells or whistles iPhone to take photos of nature - especially of the moon and the vibrancy that is the sky at twilight and fall foliage. This photo was taken on a very cold and rainy October 28, 2025, in the parking lot of my local public library. There is no filtering or any other adjustment. I call it My Bob Ross 'Happy Little Accident!'
