Sunday, November 17: The WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge is layers: Layers can reveal, conceal, and make something more complex. They can vary in size, texture, color, or functionality. Each layer can have its own story, meaning, or purpose. They can overlap, blend, or be distinctly separate. A layer doesn’t have to be a part of a single object but can even be a slice of a multifaceted image or scene.
Here are some layers I found this weekend on the Difficult Run stream feeder trails and the Fairfax Cross County Trail. The world is looking browner these days; it won’t be long before it turns a hundred shades of gray.
Even life is made up of layers, is it not?

Oh yes, Carol, you are so right about that. 🙂
I love your interpretation of the challenge theme, Cathy. Beautiful images. 🙂
Thanks so much, Sylvia. I don’t have a chance to get out much these days, and when I do it’s usually close to home. I’m sure missing the adventurous life. 🙂
Interesting how the ferns are still green when the leaves have turned. Great photos, Cathy! A bit different from the desert you just left, eh? 😉
Maybe the ferns will start browning in December, Ruth. We’ll see. It’s been so long since I experienced four seasons, it takes a bit of getting used to. 🙂
wow….. awesome photos!

Thanks so much, jampang! 🙂
In Oman you’d have had to do grains of sand 🙂
You are so right, mrs. carmichael. Or piles of boulders. 🙂
Great shots of the leaves, very creative! 🙂
Thanks so much, Aislynn. It’s fun to see how you can make the leaves interesting; they can be so brown and drab at this time of year. 🙂
I’m a big fan of trees and leaves to begin with, I think mother nature knew what she was doing 🙂
Me too! And fall is my favorite time of year, for sure. 🙂
Loving your layers! Starting to need to wrap up in layers here now 🙂
Love the dead leaves shot. They look so crisp.
Thanks, Jude. Yesterday was around 65 degrees (F) here, but today the high will be 50. I’ll have to wrap up in layers myself. Winter is slowly descending, but I’m thrilled, I have to say. 🙂
I love these photos – so many interpretations of the word.
Thanks so much, Elaine. 🙂
Wow.. this is amazing .. lovely layers
Thank you so much, mycameraspeaks! And thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Great photos for the challenge, Cathy. Love the tiny acorn. )
I’ve just started a new blog. Here’s the link:

Thanks, Sylvia. Nice to find your new blog. Do you have a new angle or focus, or will it continue the same as you have been?
No, it will mostly be my travel pics again. I’m off to Costa Rica on Saturday. 🙂
Wow! That’s so funny; I just bought a guidebook for Costa Rica; I’m thinking I’d like to go there in 2014. 🙂 Have a great time and can’t wait to see all your pics and your recommendations!!
Lots of lush layerings throughout the park. I like how you got down into the layers and let us see them from below (roots and brown leaves, especially).
Thanks so much, Annette. I’m so glad you like them. 🙂 I hope all is well with you!
Such Autumnal beauty. The colours are so soft and serene.
Thanks so much, Carol. Our world here in Washington will become more and more drab in the coming weeks, so I guess it will be all about textures after that….. I hope we get some snow this year. In Virginia, it’s hit or miss. 🙂
nice shots
Thank you so much, Bipasha, and thanks for visiting and commenting. 🙂
Such a wonderful variety of layers and textures Cathy! The acorn has to be my favourite. Along with the ferns lying above a layer of dead leaves.
Thanks so much, Madhu. That thing is actually a small pine cone. I do have some acorn pictures in the post about my hike to Mary’s Rock. I’m glad you like my layers. 🙂
The moods of autumn are well suited to the challenge. A quick note to let you know that there will not be a challenge next Monday due to the U.S. Thanksgiving holiday. Hope to see you on 02 December for the next challenge: Nature. Have a glorious and relaxing Thanksgiving.
Thanks, Sally!
Beautiful Cathy!
Thanks, Gilly! 🙂
Sooooo nice to see you ! This is just beautiful ! Did you change blogs or was it me?
Haha, Kathryn, I have 16 blogs! This is the one I’ve been writing on since I returned home to America. I’ll be here until I travel again. 🙂
I CANNOT keep up with you Cathy :))))
A beautiful set of fall (autumn) images…layers of crunchy leaf litter 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
