Last of the Fall leaves

 

The maple trees are almost the last to shed their leaves for the winter. But being among the last does not mean they are any less colorful than all the others. We are now prepared for winter as we see the last leaves fall and snow in the forecast.

Northern Lights over Rock Canyon, Provo, Utah

 

You can see a few stars shining through the bright color of the Aurora Borealis as seen over the mouth of Rock Canyon, just east of Provo but actually in the city boundaries. It was strange because we could not see the color with our eyes but the iPhone camera could. This photo was taken in almost complete darkness with an iPhone 15 Pro Max. The camera was hand held and the software compensated for any hand movement during the 2 or 3 seconds it took the camera to take the photo.
