Title: Pumpkins on the Vine?
Post by: Leszek Piotrowski on May 11, 2021, 11:08:42 pm: Perhaps,... more likely wild S. Ontario Mountain Ash berries in the fall.

Walking along the "Orange four-corners" portion of the Trans-Canada trail, in a late
Ontario fall,... Oct. 30, 2018, couldn't help it,... but stopped! and took their proud portrait.

When COVID is finally done! I'll longingly revisit.

I must attribute the bokeh to the Zeiss 135mm lens, rather than me, although I did "point the lens" in the right direction. Love that 135mm f2 Zeiss lens.

When I looked and stopped,... I was not sure of the image outcome,... but in my "minds eye" the lens did the rest! The lens "saw" what I envisioned,...
