Autumn in Sycamore Grove Park

One of my favorite places to take pictures in California is at Sycamore Grove Park in Livermore. On a recent walk, on a gorgeous fall day, my husband and I came across a family of deer. (I always bring a chaperone along when I walk here because of recent mountain lion spottings.) Once we saw the deer, we quietly walked in their direction and I took photos, while trying to get as much fall foliage in the picture as possible. It was thrilling to watch as they ran from one shady spot to a next. We waited patiently for them to walk into the sunshine which made for a more interesting photo. I have reworked these images to enhance the color and add a bit more drama. To see my deer family pictures and other colorful autumn shots, please check out my Imagekind 'Autumn' gallery to the right.
