23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Travel
The last day of September

I think of this image as a time frame for how quickly the seasons travel through our journey of life. I shot this on a mostly cloudy afternoon with my Nikon Cool Pix P1000 camera, when walking with my husband and our dog. The last day of September on our walk in the woods to remember, were the Bittersweet Autumn leaves traveling up the trees, reaching out in colors of red against shades of gold and green; giving us delight, ere' old Jack Frost changes the scene to white.
