Changing Foliage

The calendar declares a precise date for the beginning of Autumn but in the natural world the change begins slowly with a spot of colored foliage here and another there. At first if one does not look closely the small hints can be missed altogether.

A single backlit red leaf shows off glows crimson red in the bright morning sun.


Yellows are also beginning to show as this brace of compound leaves shot during a light drizzle illustrates.

  1. The fall colors in Denali has just about ended. Neat thing is as I travel home I can follow them. Nice selection of images. Blue Skies.

  2. I am always amused to think that mankind will decide when fall arrives.God must be smiling as He drops these spots of color everywhere,before the calendar says fall.

  4. Yep the fall is coming, slowly but surely. Here it is rather quick, we will get these colors for two-three weeks and then the leaves will be gone!

  7. Wonderful fall studies! We are well into fall here but we are having lovely weather. So far only a mild frost in August, and no killing frost yet.
