A photogenic toad near our house… he did not hop away even after I took this picture. As you can see from the drops on the toad and blades of grass, it had just been raining.

Happy New Year everyone! 2011 is going to be a revolutionary year.

A typical sunset in Ormond Beach! I made the colors bolder and added contrast.

Photo of an autumn leaf with the sun as a light source. The coloring on this decaying leaf was unique. I guess it was being eaten by bacteria or something?

We really get some amazing sunsets in Florida. As always, editing helped this one along, but it was breathtaking to begin with.

Yellow leaves on a Chinese Talo tree, Dec. 31, 2005. This would be “Winter Leaves 7” if Florida’s winters weren’t like other states’ autumns.

Autumn Leaves 3-6 weren’t very good, so I’m not going to post them. :smile:

A sunrise from December of 2005. I had to get up early that day to take my ACT college entrance exam which I got a composite score of 28/36 on. In two weeks I will finally finish my A.A. degree.

The same tree from Autumn Leaves, three weeks later in November of 2005. The leaves have gotten more orange and deader!

Not to be confused with Autumnal Leaves from September of 2007.
