Today dawned with heavy leaden skies with rain arriving in the afternoon. It was under these conditions that I photographed this maple tree showing the first signs of autumn colors.I look forward each summer to the brief splendor of autumn foliage although I well realize that autumn splendor is followed closely by the cold grays of winter. It seems like only yesterday when the spring peeper began calling and the first blooms of colt’s foot appeared along our rural roadsides.
Perhaps it is only an illusion, common to us older folks, that time passes more quickly now than it did in our youth but it certainly seemed real today as I photographed the first color of fall.
I do belive that it's going to be a early fall here .

That's beautiful, Coy! Fall is arriving here too. I think it got here awfully fast!
ReplyDeleteCoy. You are dead right. When we were younger, we wanted time to move faster but now we are older time still marches on regardless!
ReplyDeleteAutumnal colour already..I think you are ahead of us, for a while anyway. Cheers FAB.
Fall is creeping in here too. The summer seems to have flown by so quickly. And, yes, time does go by much faster as you get older.
ReplyDeleteBest season for colour is the Autumn.
