Mystery of the changing leaves
Why do these do this every year? Not sure!! ... BUT I LOVE IT!! There are lots of explanations, but, although they all sound great.. I have a deep suspicion that Mother Nature has her wonderful smug smile on right now knowing exactly why these leaves change!!! I just enjoy!!!!!!
Used Redfield’s Fractalius to bring out more of the dance of color in these show-offs!!!

Songmistress
Autumn is my favourite season…for a couple of reasons. My mother loves this season so much that, although I was born in the summer, she named me after this time of year.
This is a beautiful capture of the brilliant colour of Autumn, and the fractalius makes the leaves look wonderfully electric and really brings out the detail in the leaves. Well done. Instant fave.
maxy replied
Thank you so very very much Songmistress (Autumn?) It was such a huge honor and such a wonderful surprise!!! Thrilled you like it! xx

Another dazzler…..this is yummy with those wonderful fall colors. It just shimmers, before you even know that it has been fracteled…...not the right spelling I see, but you know what I mean!!
maxy replied
Thank you so much Elizabeth! That technique is so much fun – in this one I kept it to a minimum to just bring out hopefully the best in these leaves – so thrilled and honored you like it!!! xoxo!

maxy replied
Thank you so much Anna! I do love autumn – it comes quickly and ends quickly but oh what fun it is when it’s arrived! xoxo!
Linda Bianic
spectacular work maxy!! Instant fav!
We didnt get the colors this year hear,, it was a wierdly warm Sept.. then it froze,,, so the leaves didnt get the chance to change..
And there is scientific reason for that,,, the various colors have different nutrients that are reabsorbed by the tree,,,,and since that didnt happen here, we have have lots of dead trees in the spring!!
maxy replied
Thank you so much Linda! Wish the nutrients expanded into your part of the world…!!! This autumn we had was so brilliant, probably due to what you said ,and a very very rainy summer.. autumn made up for it me thinks.. although we kinda missed summer! Huge extra too for the fave! xoxo!!!!
