Under normal circumstances, at this time of year (fall) and at this time of day, I would be in my car or on a train on my way to work or already at work. By the time I return home from work, it would be dark outside. Because the global pandemic has kept me working remotely, I am "seeing" this sugar maple (Acer saccharum) tree in my backyard for the first time. I read that Sugar maples have a fall foliage colour range from yellow to orange to red, but this specimen is mostly yellow.

I'm just a human being who wears many hats. As an avid amateur photographer, I enjoy exploring the art and science of capturing beautiful moments through my lens. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm working as an information security professional, utilizing my expertise to keep data safe and secure. Beyond that, I'm a nemophile who finds peace and serenity in the great outdoors, and a philomath who loves to learn and expand my knowledge. I reside in Montgomery Township and am always seeking new adventures to capture and share.

    Lovely collection of yellow leaves - I am impressed as well to see you are using film! I still have a film camera, but haven't used it in years.

      I'm happy I documented it. The leaves have all fallen. The tree is bare.
