OK, a post not related to bees, but nonetheless pretty.
I was gone for 6 weeks in China. 16 stops during that time! — I must be crazy. Worked on manuscripts and gave numerous presentations, and visited apiaries.
I was sure I would have missed all the fall color here. But about 10-15% leaves left…
It was 2 degrees C when I shot these in the morning of Nov. 4.
Shot with Nikon D700, Nikkor 60 mm micro or 17-35 mm. Shot in Nef and converted to jpeg by ViewNX. No time to adjust saturation or contrast for most shots.
