Now there is no way to ignore it, autumn is coming. The weather is getting colder and rainier, days are getting shorter and the trees are starting to drop their leaves. I really love some parts of autumn, like this morning. It was just beautiful: sunshine after heavy rain. I think the above shot resembles the first sign of autumn on a summery green lawn.

I also took some shots of leaves on grass with water drops. The below shots are from approximately the same location. The first is shot with a f/1,4 aperture and the second with f/5.6 aperture. I really love the softness of the f/1.4 photo, but on the other hand I like the smaller water drop diamond effects that the smaller aperture creates.
