Beech Trees in the understory of our northern forests tenaciously hang on to their leaves long after the rest of the forest's trees have dropped theirs to the ground.  This splash of orange color is a welcome respite to the monochrome of a misty winter's day.  These images were made in Michigan's Sleeping Bear Dunes National Seashore using a Petzval 55mm Mk II lens from Lomography. This lens is a reinvention of a lens designed by Joseph Petzval in the 1840s to created dreamy, impressionistic look which I quite like.
