Fall color can be enjoyed in many ways. From a distance where you see swaths of golds, reds, and oranges mixed together with evergreen foliage. Through the observation of individual leaves with their unique textures, colors, and shapes. One way I like to look at fall foliage is to see what they all look like together, merged as Mother Nature intended.
In the foreground of this picture a maple is framing the foliage of the flame colored sassafras trees.
When I take pictures I really like experimenting with the positioning of the sun behind plants. Here in this maple the sun is beginning its decent for the day and seems to highlight the maple that is beginning its fall transformation.
Pale yellow and gold stand out in the large wooded area behind our home. Tall trees like walnut, hackberry, and tulip poplar dominate the scene.
All of the photographs in this post are of trees that have grown up naturally with little to no human interference.
Cute disclaimer! 🙂 It is interesting seeing the same tree in different views and lights. The sun plays tricks on photography and sometimes a good trick.
The fall color is SO awesome this year. Glad you see yours.
I really like the third shot – the maple just starting to turn. Beautiful!
After all the wonderful color you’ve hosted this fall, it’s good to see some from your own area, Dave. It’s raining cats and dogs here in NS today and I’m sure the trees will be scrubbed clean after this.
Hey Dave,
The sun has made the golden leaves really glow this fall…it’s beautiful out side right now!
Skeeter,
Playing with the lighting is fun. It’s amazing what you can see when you look at different perspectives.
Tina,
The fall color is soooo much better than last year! I have more fall color posts on the way.:)
Cindy,
That’s my favorite as well. The maples we have in the back sort of cascade their foliage along the tree line.
Nancy,
It rained here too but the leaves mostly stayed on the trees in our yard. I guess there wasn’t enough wind yet. The afternoon sun came out and just turned the day into the perfect autumn day!
Gail,
I just got back inside from a walk around the yard. It is gorgeous. Days like today are what people imagine when they think of the perfect fall day!
Hi Dave, it’s been a glorious fall hasn’t it! I’ve been enjoying everyone’s fall foliage posts.
Beautiful pics. So much beauty it's hard to imagine but I know it exist as I've been in the middle of it before & it's breath taking. Now I'm really enjoying other peoples beauty.
