It may be work, it may be play, it may be near, it may be away. So here is the challenge - to shoot and post one photograph a day on this site. These photographs are a kind of diary of things I find interesting. I am also thinking that there will be days when I am unable to shoot, so on those infrequent occasions, I will post a photograph done on another day, but one that still feels important to me. - Ken Spencer

The Japanese Maple
I hope you will excuse my fascination with the Autumn colors in my yard - it is such a joy to see. Fall is clearly my favorite time of year. And not just for the brilliant colors - I also love to watch the fading of life all around, when bright colors turn to more subtle hues. There is joy in watching flowers and plants change from the vigor of life to the beauty of decay. This Japanese Maple tree was here when we moved in in 1971 and I have photographed it innumerable times, in all seasons. I am in love with the shape of the branches and can always find a photograph here. It is the last tree to loose its leaves, and when they fall to the ground, they are the most delicate leaves I have seen. When the ground is covered with them, it makes a lovely close-up photograph. I will just have to take that picture this year for you.
spectacular shots the last few days. the autumn colors and filtered sunlight are breathtaking.
