There are two sets here, obviously. The first is from Beechwood Farms, which is part of the property owned by the National Audubon Society of Western Pennsylvania. It's a really wonderful place for a nature walk, and you are encouraged to do it free. In spring and through summer and early fall, there are many varieties of birds (and insects). In all a real jewel here in Western Pennsylvania.
1. Green leaves – 50mm Planar at f/2.8, if my memory serves me correctly. That means there's a 50-50 chance that I'm right about the aperture.
2. The pathway – Through the flora and into the light. I believe this is with the 25mm Biogon.
3. Reflected trees – This shot is upside down. I purposely inverted it, because I like it better this way.
4. Very tall trees – I would guess this also is with the 25mm Biogon.
5. Golden leaf – I don't think this shot has anything going for it, but I'll throw it in there anyway.

I got up early and went over to North Park in hopes of catching the mist coming off the water. Of course, it never happened. The next day on my way to work, there it was. Anyway, afterward, I took a couple of other shots.
1. North Park lake – A bit cliched, but I couldn't help myself. Still, the colors were really going wild that weekend.
2. The bench at North Park lake – I sat on this for about 15 minutes waiting for the mist, which never appeared.
3. Road through North Park – On Sunday morning, there isn't much traffic. Good thing. The toughest part was compensating for the heavy blue cast that was in the shadows.
4. Mailbox – Off McKnight Road, there was a line of trees. I think it pairs up nicely with the mailbox, which gives it some perspective ... or something ... despite the far trees not being as sharp as they could be.
5. A magnificent tree – I cropped the original, because much of the foreground was in shadow. There is detail in the foreground, but it's still rather dark, and downsizing and converting to JPG eliminates much of that detail.
