Announcing Autumn by alophoto

Announcing Autumn

One of my favorite seasons started a few days ago and I didn't even realize it. It's been feeling like fall on and off for a month now.

I love all things autumn: the amazing colors, the crispness of the air, the apples, the pumpkin foods, the nip in the air, crunching through and jumping in leaves, warm drinks even college football (back in the day).

Yesterday was a perfect fall day with blue skies. We don't see many blue skies as the weather gets cooler. I like the cold weather, but I really get sick of the grayness. I bask in the blue and sun when I can.

Loved how these changing leaves were reaching forth their fall fingers.

Change is in the air. Hope to know by later today if we are moving ahead with the new place or not.
Fantastic colours. Fall is indeed a beautiful season.

Brilliant red contrasting against the green leaves and blue sky! I love fall... just wish winter didn't follow.

Love the red, green and blue all together, really speaks of fall.

@calm The snow is still magical to me. Last year was our first year living in it. I love it all but the gray...and the freezing bit.

Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments on my first fall leaves. The autumn is so gorgeous here and I am looking forward to capturing much more. Please pardon the mass reply, I really prefer not to do these, but I am under a pile of birthday planning, moving planning and feeling all around run down this week. Ugh. Hope to be my normal chipper self soon!
September 27th, 2013  
@friend2303 Thanks, man. I've started stalking some places that I am hoping to capture so that I don't miss the change. I missed one last year and it killed me (or was annoying anyway;-).
September 27th, 2013  
Love the saturated colors! Great fall shot!
September 27th, 2013  
@pflaume And it is nearly not edited;-). Just upped the color a wee smidge:)!

@snaggy Thank you, Kev.

Isn't nature a marvel? Gorgeous shot of the leaves against that brilliant sky.

And Eva Cassidy? ? Wow! I've yet to find another person who even knows who she is/was.
Amazing talent, gone way too soon. I think I'll dig up her cd when I get home. It's been awhile, but I think I remember a song called 'Wade in the Water. '

@pasadenarose I love me some Eva. We've known of her for years. Even played her "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at my father in law's funeral a long time ago. Such a glorious voice. And so sad she died young. Enjoy listening to her today! Thanks, friend!
