Hello Rita, If you are back from your trip I hope it went well and that you had a good time, if you are still traveling I hope that you are still enjoying it. The beginning of Autumn in some ways has already begun--warm days, cool nights; swamp maples beginning to turn, etc. In other ways it hasn't kicked in yet. In my experience here it has always varied from year to year, one Summer didn't end until the very end of September. So to answer your question, I would say that it is very early Fall. Regards, Jeff
Hey Rita, Good to hear that you enjoyed your trip. Yes, experimenting again, the floral shot lighting is the result of using my hand to bounce the light from the flash. --Jeff
