The Multnomah Falls is a classic favorite.

I decided to manipulate this photo a bit, adding in green-blue pastel hues to make it resemble more like a painting. I also incorporated colorful leaves and some human element so it appears I'm stepping "into the scene."

The best part of autumn is being on the lookout for vibrant fall foliage across different neighborhoods and cities.

With the sun lowering in the sky, the sun flare shined through one of the trees - making for a perfect capture!

These trees are all aligned so symmetrically in a row at Shinjuku Park. The leaves on the ground gave that extra flair, making it the perfect scene in the fall.

Went to Conservatory of Flower's Night Bloom event and it was spectacular seeing all of the beautiful plants in an entirely different light. Set with colorful lights all over the conservatory, rooms with wide-ranging temperatures, and calming, enchanting music playing in the background, we felt like we were in a whole new world with a new perspective on...everything.

I loved the effects in the various rooms and decided to lighten this image a little more, enhancing the glow and adding a soft mixture of pastel blue-green sparkles sprinkled throughout the backdrop for a more otherworldly, mystical feel.
