WEEK FORTY-SEVEN: ILLUSIONS AND DELUSIONS

This photograph, made in Georgia in late June, has the distinct feel of autumn to me.  It is an illusion, of course; the rich reds are attributable to a Japanese maple in summer garb.  The early evening was hot and sticky, the air still.

But I find the effect comfortably deluding.  For just a moment, I have the sense of a crisp fall chill and turning leaves.
