So many colorful shots from then! At present, nearly all leaves are down and it's cold and gray out there.
This was shot on the side of the road of the Million Dollar Highway. It was like this the whole time we were In the San Juans. Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it is just magnificent.
I liked this because it looked like a pastel. I wasn't sure if I should crop out the blue at the bottom because my eye keeps going to it, but I love the color, so it's staying!
There is just something so special when seasons collide. Having just the right amount of snow surrounding an aspen forest is so magical. If you can add a mountain with clouds blowing off the top....smiles all around!!!
It's another day with temperatures not much above 10 degrees [F]. These shots from mid-October bring back some good memories!
There was plenty of color at the outlet of this pond as sunset approached - yet the reflections were mostly black.

Shot with FE 85mm f1.4 GM.
I notice this clump of maple leaves in the midst of changing their colors, the edges have turned red but the center of the leaves remained mostly green.
Like a bouquet of flowers.
"As days get shorter and colder in autumn, chlorophyll molecules break down and leaves lose their green color. Some leaves begin to look yellow or orange because they still contain pigments called carotenoids.
But red is special because some plants (including maples) actually produce new pigments, called anthocyanins but it's actually strange because it takes a lot of energy to make anthocyanins.
It was found that plants that can make red pigments continue to absorb nutrients from their leaves.
When chlorophyll breaks down, a plant’s leaves become vulnerable to the sun’s harsh rays. By turning red, plants protect themselves from sun damage. They can continue to take nutrients out of their dying leaves."
Hi guys. I'm back from another trip to the Pacific Northwest. This is Autumn color captured along Washington state route 2 near the town of Leavenworth... I'm pretty busy back at work at the moment but will try to slowly catch up with everyone's work soon. :-) Thanks for the visits and hope everyone has a great Tuesday!
My take on this iconic shot. Eh not much different than the other jillion shots of this boathouse. But since I woke up a 4AM yesterday to take this by God I am gonna post a few!
THanks for the comments and faves- a front pager!
SOOC colors. Not every day brings shots like these. I take photos every day, but with greatly varying results, This is the purest color of the season so far - it reminds me of the color slides I used to take using Kodachrome film. I credit the clear, low humidity air that day.
The famed Dallas Divide. Incredibly unoriginal but this viewpoint is literally on the side of the road, so it's going to get some attention. Hopefully this comp is slightly different than the, oh, fifty other photographers flanking either side of me. Ugh. At least we all got treated to this sunrise.
