Colours of trees

[vaneramos]

These photos would originally have accompanied my poem The colours of trees had I not been so frustrated over the computer problem (sorry, my poems are friends-only for now).

The really exciting news on the computer front is that brunorepublic has rebuilt his old PC for me, and I will pick it up Sunday afternoon. It is about two years younger and has a much faster processor (2 GHz) and larger hard drive (80 G) than the current one, so once I get it set up I'll be back in photography business. That in itself will please Bruce, I believe, but if you have a chance to treat him on my behalf, please do so. I am profoundly moved by his generosity.

For now here is some remembered loveliness from a Lake Fletcher morning. Those extraordinary maple saplings guard the mouth of our little bay beside Joyce's cottage.

WOW! That second photograph is STUNNING! I love how the light glitters around the edges of the leaf.

Woohoo on the computer! If there is room in the thing, I should have a spare hard drive you can use in the thing. Gives you a bit more space.

such beautiful stuff Van, really lovely
I'm still getting that emerging thing, that opening, accepting light feel.

Really glad that your computer troubles are near an end.

The tree picture is beautiful. Wow! It reminds me of when I grew up in New England a many years back. Autumn had always been my favorite season, and since moving to PR( which has an eternal summer)I have not seen one. It brings very fond memories indeed. Thanks for posting :)

I've put the last one up as my new wallpaper, and it makes me smile every morning. Thanks.

I'm using it now. There are still a few things to transfer from the old computer, but essentially the new one is up and running. The monitor he gave me is also much better than the old one, so I'll be able to see my photographs much better. This is going to be fun.

Thank you, Jeff. :-)

Emerging is an interesting theme, and it relates to some stuff going on with me right now.
Love,
Van

You're welcome. I didn't realize you were from New England! I would miss the fall colours, too.

I'm a New England boy with a Puerto Rican soul...well sort of, lol. I was born here in PR and at 2 years of age, I moved with my parents to New Britain, Connecticut. Lived there for 12 years, and we eventually moved back. I have fond memories of it, especially this time of year when I would go hiking, wandering through the woods with my brother to collect leaves or search for interesting bugs, and making leave piles with my friends and family. Those were really good years, I vividly remember them.
