AUTUMN FOLIAGE/COLOR IS UPON US. NOT QUITE PEAK BUT GETTING CLOSE. Along with the arrival of the color is the arrival of the so-called leaf peepers who, every man, woman, and child amongst them is armed with picture making device of one kind or another.

The collective result of all of this picture making will inevitably be, not unlike quitarist Nigel Tufnel (This Is Spinal Tap) who turned it (his amp) up to 11, fall color pictures with the saturation turned up-via apps, effects, and processing-to "11". Cuz, as you know, nothing exceeds like excess (especially in America).

Why is it that the beauty of the natural world as it actually exists is never enough for the massses? And, concurrent picture making wise, can the masses ever get enough of the "grand and glorious" of the natural world?
