This is how I have long enjoyed the 4-Seasons. However, Spring,to me, is like the Ballet Dancer learning how to respond on cues (buds, green shoots, blossoms) and practices daily learning those basics. Fall, is the seasons of grand performances when it all comes together as a Grand Finale. My favorite is Fall, when nature puts on the long awaited performance of theatrics on her stage, with perfect execution to conclude the seasonal performance. Summer is the rest break between when learning new material begins. Winter is the period after the Grand Fall Shows, when planning starts for the next season.
So, having said that, it's time to start days of editing and submissions to the editors. I once posted top-of-the-line images only to find that some people were trying to copy those images. Now, I hold back and give the editors their turn to choose. Some I even take separate shots close to the original material. It does add work, but it also has some control on what is out there that is more of an open source type image. Hate to do that, but it has to be done to maintain the long standing rules of editorial images.
Okay, found some beauty of nature that kicked everything else to the side for a few days. These images are what makes me the most happy in being able to show how nature arranges things that we all just take for granted.

Many thanks to City Line DFW Plaza and Medical City Plano Hospital for the beautiful fall colors, art pieces, beautiful Holiday Tree on the Plaza at City Line DFW.
In addition to our chimney collection, there are others that involve textures with quasi-hidden architectural elements that become the focus rather than part of the textures. Also, this year, we began a collection of traffic cones and found an instant home with one of our editors. We look for things like this in the Metroplex that made an Urban setting so unique. Many times, we go about our business and pay slight attention to things that are so common, they create a nichè in their own right. Those are the things that make Urban settings standout. There will be others. Hopefully, we will be there to point them out in and of the art pieces that become what they really are---Urban Art of the Ordinary.
