Autumn colors in the deep south...

I wanted to show that we "do" have color in our state (we live around the middle) but still with lots of green from the pines.
I did not meet this fellow. He knew I was taking his picture but was concentrating on fishing. I never saw him catch anything. I was also surprised at the size of the motor he has on his boat. This is a very small lake, so I'm sure he did not use that here. :- )

Wonderful golden light Gary and the red really pops

[Janet B.]

I love how you composed this and, also, the splash of red. Well seen and beautifully captured, Gary!

[Kate]

The fellow fishing from his boat adds interest to the scene.

Great candid shot

[KV]

Lovely... still looks warm there since the fisherman has on shorts. Yep... big motor... but he has his trolling motor down and that may be all he used on your lake.

[Pat Knowles]

Always love a guy in a red jacket! Lovely shot!

[Nova]

Wonderful capture Gary. I like how the colour of his shirt really poops in the shot with the soft fall colours in the background. :)

[Chris Johnson]

Nicely done on this candid shot. The solitude of him fishing by himself and focused is really relaxing.

[Margaret Brown]

Lovely autumn shades and relaxing candid

[Kathy]

Nice shot of the lake and the fellow and his boat.

[Melvina McCaw]

Nice image Yes that is a very BIG motor for sure!

[Milanie]

And still in shorts! Surely he doesn't use that motor there - would swamp every other boat around :) Never did understand the need for one so big.

So nice to have the color come right up to the water's edge too.

[Jon Lip]

The red top of the fisherman really stands out and the colours in the leaves look good too. That sure is some heavy-weight outboard he's got there - if he opened it up he would probably fly!!

[Pat]

A lovely autumn scene and the fisherman's top adds a nice splash of red, fav.

[Thom Mitchell]

Yeah, “autumn” is very different “down south” than it was growing up in Michigan…!

[GaryW]

@craftymeg Thanks, Margaret. I'm glad folks found it relaxing. It certainly was for me.

[GaryW]

@randystreat Thanks, Kathy!

[GaryW]

@bubblequeen Thanks!

[GaryW]

@milaniet Ha! Thanks! I think it was his own boat and maybe that motor is for bigger bodies of water!

[GaryW]

@sherimiya Thanks, Sheri!

[GaryW]

@jon_lip Ha! Thanks. Likely true, Jon!

[GaryW]

@pattyblue Thanks so much, Pat!

[GaryW]

@rhoing To be sure! We are still having highs in the low 70s.

[Chris Johnson]

@thewatersphotos - Thanks Gary, good to hear from you too. Los Angeles is about to go into another lockdown, however my family and I are safe and well. Thanks for asking!

[Carol McClelland]

So beautiful! I get irritated just about every year when people from other places say that Texas doesn’t have an autumn. Scientifically speaking, we all experience autumn. The colors just north of Houston and beyond are beautiful this year.
