Why?

Behind our parkBehind our park 2On a sunny Fall day I captured this scene that exists in a near by area, behind a tennis court in a city park in Santee. The colors were just sizzling and I loved the orange color in this bush by the trail to Cowles Mt.  I don’t even know th name of this hardy bush.

The photo I took of  that particular view was taken on a later day when it wasn’t so sunny. I needed this photo to show how it was when I painted on location.

Nothing else around this bush had died.  How strange to find that what I had painted and photographed had just died!  Why does this happen to me? 

I enjoy walking through this park observing all that takes place with the colors of nature and how the lighting can change through out the year and seasons.
