Early Autumn Richmond BC 2010

Steveston, Richmond BC, Canada (October 2010) --- "Too eager and too early"

This was the gist of the best advises friends and kins gave me when I decided to grab my Canon 50D early in October to shoot autumn's golden color. "Wait till mid-November", they quipped, "when  Fall's full splendor shall fully unfold".

When I think of continuous drizzle day after day and sticky mud on my sneakers at the height of Fall, I decided to give it a shot while there are still two or three intermittent sunny days in a given week.

True to what was advised, autumn was still on its bud. But overall it was not a general let-down. Besides I was ready to hie off for a short, two-week trip back to Davao City in the Philippines and I couldn't wait.




How could more golden autumn colors be of use to me when the fields get soggy.

I must admit it was kind of haste. But to me it was an opportune time. Truly the haste just brought me in my immediate environs in Richmond. And where else but in nearby Steveston.











"I could do it again later if I couldn't get enough good images that would satisfy me", I reassured myself.

The result was not at all totally disappointing. Barely three hours of photo-walk yielded some rather passable results. However meager these are, may I share them with you.
