Nature is the realm of. . .

I was going to say the same.  It makes one look at them a bit differently, thoughtfully.  I like them very much.  It takes a very lovely Autumn scene and makes it a bit off kilter, more unexpected, even a bit sad/melancholy.

On the lens looking at these and other images of yours---I find more and more that the 12-35 could probably suit me very nicely as did a 24-70/2.8 on FF for years, but alas its not in the cards for a good while.  I find myself carrying what appears to be a good copy of the 12-50 along with my 25/1.4 and 45/2.8 for the time being.
