katsura

I adore katsuras in all seasons, but particularly in the fall when the foliage turns color – anywhere from deep red to butter yellow, depending on the tree – and takes on a rich butterscotch scent. I was shooting this tree in Hillcrest Park and trying to capture some of what makes katsuras so magical for me. I thought this image was a good start – something about the light and the way it plays through the leaves.
