Photo of the Week 2015-10-19

Down with a cold that's kept me coughing, wheezing and sniffing since Friday, I couldn't muster the initiative to get out for anything this weekend let alone a hike, which would have been beautiful with the fall colours at their peak. Instead, I treated myself with meds, hot lemon water and as much rest as I could get in between coughing bouts. And during those times when I my head would clear from the cold and the meds, I clicked through my image library looking for something to use for this week's photo.

A little over a week ago when fall colours were just beginning to arrive close to home, this image was made on my way out the driveway of an office I frequently work at. Some might possibly recognize the location without prompting but I doubt it. Why? Because as a photographer, I know first hand how photographers look at things differently. We see the colour, the depth, the quality of light and it's magical ability to transform scenes both familiar and not.
