Tree Tuesday - Moar Fall Leaves
Here's a few more fall leaves for #treetuesday by @old-guy-photos
Here's a few I pressed from last year and arranged on the carpet while i was pulling them out of the book i pressed them in. I soaked them in a glycerine water mixture before pressing to help preserve color and it seems to have worked.
Here's a few more. Perhaps one day I'll glue these to a big panel in a pattern arrangement.
Here's the lake where I got many of the leaves from. The gray gloomy days seem to make the colors pop more.
After the snow melted from last week the creeks were nice and full plus it also was raining while I searched for winter mushrooms. I didn't find any edible ones this time :-(.
Here's a nice firey one against a moss backdrop.
It came off this tree. I tried preserving a half red and green leaf but the green ended up turning brown.
Here's another lake photo from last year. It seems last year may have been a tiny bit brighter for colors probably because there wasn't an early snow.
Another shot from last year at Devil's lake in Wisconsin. This rock formation is called the devil's doorway. It had a nice red maple growing out of the rocks next to it somehow.
Here's this fall's colors from one of the few hills in Illinois. Most of the colors have turned rusty brown now with just a few gold trees left.

You captured some beautiful scenery. I always hope I photograph the leaves when most are at their peak.
Its a tough thing to guage, sometimes it happens in the middle of the week when i'm stuck at work lol.

Such beautiful and warm scenery and how cool are those pressed leaves
They end up pretty thin when pressed after soaking in glycerine. Its a good substrate for all kinds of artistic projects. Trouble is finding the time.

Yes time is always the challenge LOL
Then you end up with random unfinished piles of stuff, like leaves from yesteryear or an electric guitar body that needs a neck etc lol.
