Believe it or not, I have more Creek Leaves photos to share,

Impressions of Fall 2025 – Part 1
Another year and another fall in Indiana. This year was much different than the previous few. Drought and a warm fall resulted in sporadic color change in the local trees and forests.
It was just after mid-October, when we arrived in Indiana, a time when the local forest fall foliage would normally be highly apparent. This year many trees were still fully green, a few had already changed almost completely and other were just exhibiting the seasonal change in color.
The “peak”, if it can be called that this year, came the first week in November and it was muted, compared to a “normal” year. I’m afraid this will become the “normal” in the future as climate change, which is not a “hoax”, continues its rapid advance.
For these ICM (Intentional Camera Movement) abstract images in a forest, one can include the sky or exclude it. I find that I prefer those images with the sky limited or excluded, which usually requires cropping the image in post processing.
The direction of the light is also a factor in these image. Side light produces alternating light and dark patterns across the image, which I tend to prefer.
Stay tuned for more fall impressions,

Indiana Fall 2024 – Grounded Leaves
I published a number of Substack posts (kenkemp650.substack.com) with images of fall leaves. This post contains a subset of images from my Substack series “Grounded Leaves”.
These photos depict ordinary scenes one can see in the fall, especially on a forest floor. Which means these are not unique artistic creations and are only a capture of the ordinary, natural beauty we often take for granted, while we trample these fallen leaves beneath our feet.
Stay tuned for “Hanging Leaves”,

Indiana, Fall 2021, Part 17 – Charles C. Deam Wilderness
A continuation of photos captured during a morning hike in the Charles C. Deam Wilderness area of the Hoosier National Forest, Indiana.
That’s it for this hike.
Until next time,

Indiana, Fall 2021, Part 8 – Ogle Lake, Brown County State Park
I continued hiking the trail around Ogle Lake and shooting images in and around the lake.
The big lens allowed me to zoom into the edge of the forest across the lake, eliminating the sky and the lake from the scene.
Reflections in water are always a good subject. Â The scene above drew me to it as soon as I noticed how the log divided the reflections and calmed the surface just enough to create the impressionist forest reflection.
Before I left the park, I stopped and hiked along a trail through the forest. Â I shot many images, but most were not all that appealing, so I’m just sharing a few of the better ones.

Rio Grande National Forest, Colorado, September 26, 2020 PM, Part 2
Again, mostly photographs and few words.
Just one comment to wrap up this post. Â Viewers will note that I’ve include color versions of a few images that were then converted to black and white with selective colorization to add emphasis.
Stay tuned for the wrap up for my September 2020 Rio Grande National Forest visit.

Rio Grande National Forest, Colorado, September 26, 2020 PM, Part 1
For our late day shoot, we decided to drive back into a higher elevation portion of the forest. I’ll refrain from using too many words to wrap up the final shoot of my last day here, so these last several posts will consist of mostly photographs.
To be continued,

Rio Grande National Forest, Colorado, September 26, 2020, Mid-Day, Part 2
I continued to shoot, under the overcast sky, in an upper elevation Aspen forest, where the ground was covered with fall leaves and an abundance of old logs and stumps of fallen trees.
The stump above reminds me of the skeleton skull of a longhorn steer that one might find in a desert setting.
I found a batch of young evergreens among the large Aspens decorated by fallen Aspen leaves.
This wraps up the mid-day exploration and shoot and I want to remind viewers that the images look much better on the website or on Flickr (if posted there) and on a large screen, rather than in an e-mail or small mobil device screen.
Thanks for following and stay tuned for the final late day shoot,
Ken
