Last Leaves of Autumn

10/27/2015

 
With most trees almost bare, and a big storm due the next few days, I figured it was the last chance for some fall photos with the coloured leaves. So right after Jan came home from work yesterday, we went for a short drive into the country looking for a suitable spot for some doll photos. We found a short dead-end road surrounded by bright yellow maple trees.....

I had put warm sweaters on a group of kids who'd not come along on our recent road trip,
​ so they'd have a turn at a fun outing, and gathered up some tiny maple leaves...

From my position, flat on the ground, I can't reach the dolls to make any final posing
adjustments, so I direct Jan to do it for me - a slight turn of the head here, or a chin down
there, or brush someone's bangs out of their face, or remove an annoying leaf or branch
​between me and the dolls - and sometimes I'll take a photo while waiting.....
Picture
I love how he looks like a giant, and it really does show just how small the dolls are...

your dolls are very pretty with autumn falling leaves around her
very fun Jan, like Gulliver at Lilliput.

How funny! I was doing exactly the same this afternoon too but I wasn't happy with my photos so I have to hope I get another chance at the weekend.

But your photos are perfect and the light is beautiful.
And I love the one with Jan! Heheheheheee
