A colorful summer flower glistening in the summer sun. Bright pink outer pedals and a yellow center pistil create a wonderful artistic display. The bokeh from the far right background adds an additional artistic touch.

In the early morning the lighting is perfect for photography not too bright and not too dim. The colors are vibrant in this colorful late autumn scene at a local lake. It is quiet and peaceful as I survey the landscape for scenery to frame and capture. One thing I try for with a scene like this is to wait until the water is calm to give a peaceful reflection of the colorful foliage.

Leaves floating in a forest lake near the last days of colorful fall foliage.
Now most of the leaves have fallen from the trees, and although there are not many colorful scenes in the trees, there are still beautiful colors found in and on top of the water.

Late in the afternoon after hiking down into the bottom of this gorge (about 5 or 6 miles) we are blessed to see the further most lower falls of White Oak Gorge. This photo does not do the autumn scenery justice, it is truly a blessing to see the forest river flowing through the colorful autumn landscape, and it was well worth it.

The cool autumn water rushes through this creek in the middle of a West Virginia forest. This water is leading to the blackwater river and creates a spectacular scene as it passes through the colorful autumn foliage.

A Colorful Autumn Mountain covered in Fall Foliage. This was taken near the highland scenic highway late one autumn evening, under a cloudy blue sky.

Perfect for a background or even a wall mural this autumn foliage picture was taken in the West Virginia mountains near the Cheat River. Small pine trees cover the base of the forest in this colorful fall foliage picture. It is said that there are a lot of black bear around this area, we are hoping to see one.

A red petunia flower. The lighting is simply perfect around this red petunia providing a rich and colorful flower picture.
