Sapling

Our biggest Japanese maple has successfully made a half dozen sapplings this year. They're well hidden away amongst the plants and shrubs.

Shades

I wasn't totally thrilled how this came out. But the colors and shapes of the Japanese maple and the two ferns were just too good. Frankly the Kodak 200 is just awful in harsh light. EOS-3, Sigma 50mm f/1.4

Father

The father had black feet while his partner had orange feet. He was very defensive, she just led her signets to safety. I loved the pose and mirrored reflections. I decided against correcting for the tint in this picture. Doing so took away from the character of the image. I also left the rather punchy contrast of the scan intact for the same reason.
