On Sunday I shared some pictures from my six mile walk in Mossy Posts.

Tonight I will share some more colorful pictures from the walk on Big Creek Trail.

I really like the dew on these leaves. Even though it was the afternoon there was still dew in secluded places. There had been a lot of rain on Saturday so there was a lot of moisture in the air. I hope that this is a harbinger of a wet winter.

I always like to see dew beads on leaves or petals. This reminds me of my post Water Droplets.

The woods were fairly thick at times and you would get shafts of light that would highlight just a small area. I think that this group of leaves is very pretty with the sun back lighting them.

I really like this picture with the leaves that are slowly changing color from green to orange. In the background you can see Big Creek. The trail that we were following is know as Big Creek Trail and it follows the route of the abandoned Hetch Hetchy Railroad.

Here the sun is lighting up part of a manzanita bush. I really like the red branches of the manzanita and how the bark curls up. They can be really pretty, especially if the sun is shining on them. The manzanita is from the genus Arctostaphylos. I have saved one of my favorite pictures for last. I really like the pattern of this leaf as it is turning color. The residual green and yellow in the middle and the intricate veins are intriguing. It was so beautiful hanging alone in the sunlight.

I hope you enjoyed a few glimpses of my walk in the woods.
