Autumn's Glorious Palette

One thing that I will miss about our neighborhood is the wonderful line of trees that leads you in. It's beautiful and shady in the summer, flowering in the spring and glowing with color in the fall. I like the naked sticks in the winter, too, especially when they are dusted with snow.

I decided to shoot just the canopy this year. One day I will have a wider angle lens which will allow me to better capture the whole scene, but there was all sorts of junk that I didn't feel like editing out if I shot lower (street signs, for sale signs and such).

I just felt like taking in and enjoying the color today. Thank you all so much for your wonderful comments, lately. I feel so far behind in my commenting and responding. Please forgive me. Life is changing and somewhat nutty now.
A lovely canopy of colour - I suppose soon it will be bare!

Gorgeous trees and colours but I feel I'm missing the path underneath...

Fav! Gorgeous. It almost reminds me of the trees in Central Park

@fueast I know...it bugs me, too. But maybe next time.

@islandk8 Thanks so much for the kind words and fav, Katie. I LOVE Central Park. I so want to see it in the fall!

@jsw0109 Kinda edited:))). The red looked rather pink and not fallish enough. Don't tell on me.;-)

Fabulous autumn (or should I say fall) colours. It is all starting to change here too but the rain makes going out pretty unpleasant!Great shot
October 3rd, 2013  
So pretty.
October 3rd, 2013  
Beautiful colours.
October 3rd, 2013  
Lovely shot, gorgeous colours :)

@roseolivia We are getting loads of rain and gray here, too. I don't like those kinds of days as much. They get to me and make me blue after awhile. It was grey here, but I brightened it up with editing. We say autumn and fall both. Funny how it has two names, but I can't think of any other seasons that do? Thanks, Rachel!

@maggiemae Probably in another week or so. Thanks, Maggiemae!

@friend2303 Really appreciate your great comments and fav, my friend!!

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on this fall canopy. Next time I will include the ground, too. Looking forward to the peak of the season. And I really enjoying sharing my bit of the world with you. I grew up not seeing leaf change or much of anything different about fall and really appreciate the heck out of it now. The colors and crunchy leaves make me giddy:).

Great autumnal colours Amanda. Not quite turned here yet - need some frosts.
October 3rd, 2013  
Fall is gorgeous, but winter looms behind it so that nice feeling is fleeting. Wonderful season image.
October 4th, 2013  
The burst of color is near.
October 4th, 2013  
A wonderful shot! Love the fall canopy POV. Good luck with all the house stuff. Moving is such a huge life change. I am impressed that you are keeping up with your photography through this all. Don't worry about the commenting. Everyone understands!
October 4th, 2013  
Stunning. FAV

@adamj Negative Nancy;-). You really hate winter, huh? Why don't you move to FL? P.S. I did my time there and it's not all that either. Thanks!

@snaggy Thanks, Kev!

@ernmar I tweaked this one a smidge to make it more dramatic. The pink hues weren't doing it for me. Thanks!

@pflaume You are so sweet, Lisa. Thank you!! I sure hope so. I try to a bit, but having to dial it back.

@cathrinemitch Aw, thank you so much for the kind fav, Cathrine!!

@deeganp I do, too. Thanks so much, my friend!
