The weather forecast for this weekend called for the first snow of the season. Indeed, it happened today, though there was no accumulation (yet) to speak of. But, looking at the forecast on Saturday morning, I decided that I needed to get out and photograph some of the last vestiges of fall. I drove to Seidman Park and walked along Honey Creek. Most of the leaves had fallen, so I decided to photograph in black and white.

I have been visiting Seidman Park long enough to remember when this tree was still standing.

Though it lives no longer, the tree continues to capture my attention as it goes through the stages of decomposition.

Along the banks of the creek, I found some plants with vibrant red leaves that stood out from the brown leaf litter below.

I haven’t been able to identify the fungi in this next photo. In the drab setting, their white coloring is an attention getter.
