Vancouver has hit the rainy season and all that mist up in the mountains makes for dreary days. A bit of colour still hangs on in the leaves of some of the trees. A crow on one of the branches seems to survey the scene. They come to our balcony now and beg for peanuts! Smart birds!

Shot taken near Town Lake in Austin, Texas

A quick shot taken yesterday afternoon outside the back door of my parents house. The color here in Connecticut right now is very surprising given our serious serious drought.

Taken in the early morning in the Countrywood neighborhood of Walnut Creek, California.

The Pentax DA* 300mm is an incredible lens. Even though I'm the one who took it, I can't believe that there wasn't any saturation or sharpness added to the RAW file before converting. A good testament to what can be done with good light and an even better lens.

Yosemite Valley Autumn ground cover

Peak color includes a lot of yellow as well as red, and as the days go by, yellows begin to predominate. Many of these trees are maples that have turned yellow rather than red.

We blew in yesterday from a camping trip up in New Hampshire. The forecast had said 'sunny', but it was cloudy with some rain. However, the color was good up there, so we were glad we went..

Tomorrow I am heading out again, but I 'm home long enough to post a picture, so that's something. This color appeared for a few moments late in the day, as the sun broke through for a short time.

It's getting a little late to post fall foliage photos, as most of the leaves have fallen now. These three photos were taken last month on the same pond with varying wind conditions.

I was working on all of the fall foliage photos I had taken, when we had the sudden snowstorm. Now, the 6" of snow we received has disappeared and everything is brown. November...my least favorite month (although March is a close second).

The neighbor's driveway, which is long and lined with maple trees.

Below is a video of the same lane, if you like seeing trees and want to take a little walk up with me.

Just a few acres in size, but it's a nice sight to drive past, especially when the water reflects the opposite shore. The "headwaters" of this little pond are right up the road on our farm, and it becomes a brook that makes its way to the Susquehanna River.

The Blue Hills Reservation in Milton, Massachusetts

Maples at their peak of color, on every hillside. Autumn in the foothills of New York!!

The bare trees are most likely Ash trees, which lose their leaves very early in the season. Or perhaps they are dead or dying Ash.

SOOC shot - amazing viewed large.

I spotted this across the river while driving. By the time I found a place to pull over and got in position, the sun had disappeared behind clouds and I had to wait 20 minutes before it came back to shine a spotlight on those trees! I’m glad I waited!

Fall foliage at East Fells Reservoir

The end of October, to be exact. Color was late to arrive this year [just like the cold weather and snow were late].

Autumn view of railroad tracks extending along pond of local park aglow with the colors of fall foliage.

It's another day with temperatures not much above 10 degrees [F]. These shots from mid-October bring back some good memories!

The yellow tree is a Sugar maple; the rest are Red Maples, mostly past their peak of color.
