You're leaves are changing allready????

With this weird summer we've had, ours started changing last week.
 
There are deciduous trees here which have given up for the year and are yellowing and dropping leaves. Personally, I think it's a water issue where varieties of trees that require water (like maples) are not getting enough by this time to keep their leaves. We haven't had a decent rain since April or May, which is our usual seasonal pattern.

The redwoods between me and the neighbors are dropping lots of small dead branches which happens every year around this time. Redwoods are having a harder time around here with our weird weather. They love humidity in their branches which the fog usually provides, however the quantity and extent of the fog's intrusion inland this year has been generally low and poor. We've had a lot of overcast mornings (which would often be foggy), but there isn't the blanket of moisture which plants that don't get rain between May and October enjoy and indeed rely on.

Louis, I like the big horn shot. Thanks for sharing.
 
You must have been pretty close to that coyote. Great shots. Most of our leaves have started changing already here in Wisconsin. I gotta get out this weekend and take some pictures of the pretty red leaves. I hope they last that long!
 
I attended college in Vermont like a million years ago and we used to do "foliage tours" on Sundays after breakfast as an excellent way to procrastinate studying (at least until the football games came on).
 
The coyote was running along the side of the road for a bit. He was pretty funny to watch. The first two images were shot with a 300mm fixed lens and the last the same with a 1.4 tele.

RB - those guys are Dall Sheep. I think they are slightlydifferet than the Big Horns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dall_sheep

I don't know if you guys remember me asking about and then comparing the 1.4tele to the 2x or not. The 2x was a bit softer but I did provide that it none the less captured some detail that was lost with the 1.4 and then enlarged to the same size. The last image of the HUGE bull moose here was with a 300mm and the 2x. He was WAY axross the valley and to be honest all I really saw of him with the flash of his antlers. I had tons of soft shots but a few came out quite nice and I was impressed. It allowed me to get shots I normally would not have been able to. I will always use the 1.4 first to get the insurance shots, but will not hesitate to bust out the 2x at all.

Yeah, there were two other cows out of the frame. A busy dude that guy was! Did you notice the tracking collar on the cow to the left of the bull? I didn't until editing the images :).
