Autumn at the Arboretum Photo

Photographer’s Note

Taken at the Boyce Thompson Arboretum State Park, about an hour's drive east of Phoenix on US 60.

This park has several nicely-laid-out trails. The main trail is a mile and a half and winds first through the usual desert xeriscape, then down into a valley where there are a couple of babbling brooks, fruit-bearing trees and, at this time of the year, some nice autumn colors.

ISO200. Boosted colors a little, a little USM as well. Shadows reduced slightly. Cropped to get rid of the overexposed sky. *8-)

I am from Arizona, so I have ofcourse seen how green and colorful it is at times... This shot is a great way for anyone to see some thing besides desery and tiny shrubs.
