Fall has provided abundant opportunities to get out and take pictures. I certainly didn't have any trouble finding enough images this time, and I think I have finally achieved one of my informal goals with this project: producing an issue with a single theme — in this case, nature. So, in this month’s Photo Synthesis you will find photos from hikes, birdwatching trips, flower gardens, and fall color tours. Because of the lateness of this issue I've decided to label it October - November.
