I suspect that some of my friends and followers, upon seeing my title, are expecting wild things, maybe a cow elk and her calf in a remote setting. On the contrary, this is about human-modified environments where elk disappeared long ago.
I have a soft spot for farm scenes in autumn. In Central new York, many farms are relatively small dairy operations, with varied topography, cover types and substrate. Intensely managed fields are typically interspersed with small woodlots, swampy habitats, fallow fields and non-tillable sites. All of this leads to rich, colorful landscapes when the foliage changes.

Over the next few weeks I plan to photograph and post some rural scenes. If I can capture and publish half of what is visible to my mind’s eye, I’ll consider the effort to be a success.

I’d call this one a success! 🙂 Such brilliant color you have there. I suspect our storm will blow away any bits of rare ‘color’ here.
Great! inspiration to follow-up!
I love the colors and changing leaves that you captured…fall is such an amazing testimonial to summer, it is what I see in your photos.
Thanks Charlie. You said a lot in just a few words! Glad you liked it.
Beautiful shots. I enjoy the gentle landscapes you captured. So soft and colorful.
The landscapes around here are changing quickly and I have to find another gear to keep up with the camera. Hope to do more. Appreciate the nice feedback.
