Before dawn on Friday, we had enough rain to give everything a good wetting…and to bring a lot of leaves down. When I opened the back door to the deck my first thought was, “Ah, this is fall!” It felt like fall, smelled like fall, looked like fall. But of course, it was only a wet fall morning…late fall at that…but there is a lot of atmosphere to a wet morning in late fall…a lot of memories to key…a touch, at may age, of definite nostalgia. I went back inside for a glass of cider 🙂

But then I got the camera and wet back out to see what I might find to capture the mood. This is an odd image for me. I realize that I rarely take pics, or a least share, pics of man-made objects…and cars least of all. I am not a car guy. As long as it runs reliably and is not actually embarrassingly dirty, I am fine with it. Just a car. But I could not resist the deposit of wet leaves on the windshield. That is just so fall! So wet morning fall.

And here, for you traditionalists, is a more typical wet fall morning shot. Same camera and settings.
