Good morning, Frank,
I figured it was now or never for a last blast of bright colour. Other than one odd tree (one of them spectacular – you can see it on IG 😉 ) most of the leaves are already gone up here.
Could have been taken here. The new popular appliance is now the leave blower. I asked my doorman…what’s wrong with a few leaves on the sidewalk? It’s like Nature’s wall to carpeting. But alas, he just kept on blowing. You and fall Dale, walk hand in hand. 🙂
I loathe those things. My husband bought one and I was so mad at him. Needless to say, it sits unused somewhere in my garage. I rake the old fashioned way, but leaving some behind as mulch.
As to that photo, I figured it could have been taken anywhere. Our leaves are all but gone up here (save a few spectacular trees which have decided not to follow the crowd; one of which almost made it here but was of ‘meh’ composition to my eyes. It is spectacular, though.)
Thank you, Susannah. It is my favourite season…
They really do. We are quickly running out of pretty up here. Except, didja see that tree on IG that I posted yesterday? Hole frijoles! Talk about doing your own thing! 😉
It’s remarkable how nature uses its infinite palette to paint scenes like this. A different hue for every single occasion, distributed in a magical reality whose design tells us the heavens pay attention to detail. As does the expert photog, when a capture, the perfect capture, comes calling on the lens.
I tell ya. We have this one tree in the good that has decided to hell with following the crowd. It stands tall and is blazing with colour and I came thisclose to using it for today’s WW but there rest of the pic was ‘meh’ (I’ll show ya, just remind me).
So all that blah blah to say I thank you for the lovely compliment. I shall keep on trying to give you reasons to wax poetic.
Be Sorry . . . Less 
A peaceful and fitting view for the season … and good morning, Dale.

We did, actually. Last week. Stayed on the ground for a couple of days then we got the most beautiful weather right after.

The seasonal wheel is turning. You captured the best of the yellow before it turns brown. Have you guys had your first frost yet?
Here’s to a productive winter. Lot of photos and opportunities to show the world what we see.

That it is. You saw on IG that glorious tree standing alone in all its glory? ‘Tis now a rarity.
We had some snow and a light frost but nothing compared to last year this time.
Yes! I am so hoping for that.

The poet waxing is free of charge. Wait a minute, that’s not correct . . it sounds wrong, like a shop you’d find on Venture Blvd or something.
Waxing poetic is easy when you deliver these plush captures.
There, that’s more like it.

You do it so very well. You add another layer to my captures (and I always aim for plush).
