Feeling Red
We had a long, hot, dry, crackly summer in my county. The result is usually a brown and crackly fall. But we have been blessed with more than 6 inches of rain in September through October and the colors of our fall have been awesome. The kind of awesome that means long walks in the woods, the awesome that inspires lovers and poets and it makes up for the hellish month of July.
We have had a pallette of reds that inspire.
Orange
Peachy
Pumpkin
Rose
Coral
Wine
Undecided
Of course on your monitor depending on its settings and your mood they can look like lipstick, chile powder, paprika, or even rust!
Loved "Undecided" - transitory leaves are so cool! Nice shots, Tabor!
ReplyDeletecoral and undecided are my favs....beautiful captures...
ReplyDeleteAs an ex-New Englander living in the South, I really really appreciate you fall shots!
ReplyDeleteYup, we (Doreen and I) were only saying the other day that the colours were as good as we can recall, but now the wind has ravaged them rather.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful. I loved "Undecided."
ReplyDeleteI think I like that last picture best.
ReplyDeleteOh, such lovely colors. I miss the fall leave changing time. Thanks for sharing it with me.
ReplyDeleteGotta love that undecided. Beautiful captures.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colors - I seem to have mostly gold colors in my Southern woods.
ReplyDeleteAre those some sassafras leaves I see? Wonderful colors! We don't get much of it down here - the pecan leaves quickly turn flaming brown, and the live oaks don't even lose their leaves this time of year.
ReplyDeleteSo thanks for the fall tidbits I've been missing.
Oh, paprika! That's brilliant!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, like flames! Mother nature just keeps on giving.
ReplyDeleteThis fall was decidedly the most beautiful I have witnessed in years.
ReplyDeleteThose colors are amazing! This is what autumn is all about. Can you bottle all that and mail it to my attention in Miami?
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, gorgeous. I love all the autumn colours :)
ReplyDeleteThose colors halt me with their power.
ReplyDeleteWonderful colours . Lovely fall indeed!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Tabor!!
ReplyDeleteHi There, I love the REDS of Autumn the most... You captured many of them... WOW!!!!!! The yellows and golds are pretty--but the reds jump out at me.
ReplyDeleteHugs,

They are the best days up on The Continent. Funny how the change is never the same one year to the next.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colors no matter what we call them. Beautiful photos, all. I love the shapes too.
ReplyDeleteGlad you're having such a glorious fall and good rains - a nice consolation prize after the long, hot, dry summer.
