Oak Leaves & Snow

Posted by Anita (West Nottingham, United States) on 6 December 2007 in Plant & Nature.

Some Oak leaves are still on the trees and stand out against our first snow. This was taken in my front yard--one of several volunteer Oaks we are letting grow.

I welcome your honest critique, especially if they will improve my photography.

If I have made a mistake in a flower identification, please let me know!

A few words about the EXIF data, beginning in April when I began using Nikon D300 and the Sigma 105mm macro: My new camera and macro lens record the relative or effective f stop, not the one seen on the lens. For an explanation of this, go to the next to the last question at this site.

You are lucky to still have some autumn color left. All of my leaves have been down and gone for a few weeks. I read a saying somewhere "An oak tree is simply an acorn that stood its ground." I'm glad you are letting the volunteers "take their stand".
