In an effort to get in some “photo-therapy” I decided to pull out my macro lens and wander around our backyard for inspiration. It’s Fall here in Atlanta so there’s not too much blooming. But, nonetheless, there is ALWAYS something to photograph in a backyard.

Take for instance, the faded blooms off a hydrangea bush. They are truly beautiful in their own way.

And you certainly can’t deny the beauty of this pink rose. This is the only rose bush that has performed well for us this year.

And Mother Nature gave me a bonus while shooting the pink rose. This little fella decided to get into the picture, too!

I enjoyed getting back out with the Macro lens and also working with the images in Photoshop Elements to enhance their colors and bring out their features.

The fall colors are beautiful and are falling rapidly. So, who knows, I may just have to get back out there for a little more “photo-therapy.” Stay tuned!

Until next time,
