Welcome to our P52! This project is designed to get you out with your camera once a week in a meaningful way. Each week I will post a prompt for you to consider. The prompts are merely suggestions, and you are free to shoot off topic if you wish. All images posted must be taken by you, be safe for work, and be taken with this project in mind. Please do not post archive photos. For a further discussion of the guidelines, please refer to this thread, and you can find the previous weeks linked there if you missed them. Feel free to join in at any time of the year, and you may go back to missed weeks if you still wish to participate.
Week 42: Trees
![main.jpg]( "main.jpg")
Here we are, squarely into the middle of October, so what better time than to get out and photograph trees! Hopefully most of you have at least some fall color, and many of you will be at peak color this week. Photographing the fall colors is not a necessity at all this week, of course. But as photographers, I suspect most of us have some fondness for autumn leaves.

There really aren’t any rules or guidelines for this week. I personally tend to photograph full trees in the forested walk I take daily, or, more recently, I’ve been seeking out the early turning leaves. But anything tree related is fair game this week, whether it’s bark, a lone tree on a hill or field, trees used as a silhouette at sunset, or even a fallen tree in the woods.

Also, keep in mind that if you have damp or dreary weather this week, that misty atmosphere can help to draw out and saturate colors naturally, and I personally love photographing trees in the rain; just be sure to keep your camera covered and safe if it’s a downpour. We had lovely mist on Saturday and I think the rest of the week is supposed to be sunny here, and I’m glad I went out with my camera when I did. (Okay, who am I kidding, I take a camera with me more often than not on my walks.)

I can’t wait to see what fall looks like in your corner of the world.
