Feeling Fall

Woke up early today and headed north for a really fun session. It was indeed well-attended, but I had a bunch of fun ones and headed in after about an hour-twenty or so. When I left the house it was definitely cooler than it has been. I actually grabbed a long-sleeve spring just in case, but wore trunks and a jacket anyway. The water was nice and there was plenty of action to keep warm. Still, it definitely felt like Fall was in the air.

So, why a detail of Hynson at the Ranch by Ron Stoner? Understandably, I'm a big fan of both Hynson and Stoner. But it's Stoner's imagery in particular that often gives me feelings of Fall. Maybe it's the crisp shimmering quality in many of his photos; reminds me of Fall light. As a kid I never thought I'd say it, but Fall is my favorite time of year. I'm glad Summer is coming to a close. No fairs, no horse races, mellower traffic, better surf. So, here's to Fall. And Hynson. And Stoner.
