second hottest day of the year yesterday 84˚

originally went out to shoot some of the late season shoots but the dry harsh dappled light captivated me

after a night full of rain, grungy sheaths take precedence

in the continuing cacophony of color

Following up on my resolution to clean up my photo library I came upon a pic from fall that had a similar perspective as a summer shot earlier in thread highlighting seasonal color transitions…

a look back at the spring of crassinodus and the fall of ‘Jiuzhaigou 1’ as this thread has run its course…

wild orange sheaths of ‘Pingwu’ I think :happy3:

2015 it’s first year in the ground the orange was overwhelming as there was no competition

though 2016 was intense up close mixing with yellow/green leaves and chocolate/purple culms

spring 2017 shows Feb. shoots with the orange spreading up the culms

At my age I only see details on a computer screen
See not what I shoot when I shoot
Luckily, walking away from a computer is easy :happy4:
