If you are lucky enough to live near some water the angle of the sun hitting the water and then bouncing to the underside of the leaves is a natural painting.
Once again the sun paints golden colors on the water and artists study their palettes to capture this hue.
In spite of all the challenges of life, I can kiss the day goodby from my deck as the sun kisses the underside of the leaves of our trees.
My walk to the river's edge reveals verbena seeds against the orange leaves hanging like black rubies just over my head.
It is all a tease because once the sun is down, we can see gray winter advancing with its power. Upon reflection, with climate change, I happily welcome this colder weather. The earth cannot survive without the yin and the yang.
What lovely autumn photos, and I couldn't tell which was photoshopped. They are all gorgeous, take your breath away this is what autumn means!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is so soothing. The autumn colours are gorgeous too.
ReplyDeleteThank you for this lovely post.
ReplyDeleteThe last leaves are lingering here, with flashes of gold briefly lit up by the occasional sun. As winter comes I will miss the color.
Great statement in the last sentence to make us aware of climate change on a very basic level.
ReplyDeleteYour autumn colors may not last long, but they are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI fear we have already grossly imbalanced the yin and the yang. Yet we still don't pay sufficient heed.it is very sad.
ReplyDeleteI would be happy to be teased like that again for another week or two.
ReplyDeletelovely stuff indeed. Yes, they gave us these spikey trees, and most of them are not really happy here. Small leaves, starting late, that sort of thing. I miss the Alders that used to line the yard. I am enjoying your colorful glory.
ReplyDeleteLove the fall colors in those photos, very nice! Even though we are still having fall weather, most of the leaves have lost their color, so when I see a bright yellow or orange one, it really stands out among the drabness of winter. One big wind storm and they will be gone, then let the raking begin!
