Softly Autumn

Softly Autumn

Uploaded: December 10, 2010

Description

Submitted for the PG101 Depth of Field challenge.
I took this in mid October -- the beauty of fall has faded now and all is brown and gray. Thankfully (from my perspective as I still have to get to and from work and hate driving on bad roads) there's none of the white stuff yet.

This is beautiful! Too bad it's gone and you have to have a monotone drive to work. #1334289
