Saturday morning I got up, had a pot of coffee and hit the road. It’s peak and beyond in the north country. The highest hills are falling fast. Some are showing the bare bones of the coming season. It was the first day of bow season. The hunters would be out in t-shirts and maybe shorts. Unheard of weather, unseasonably warm. Who’d eat meat gotten in these temps? Color showed high all the way south into Massachusetts. The intensity of color is dependent on the time of day, the angle of the sun. Late afternoon, when the shadows darken, the sun showers a golden light turning the landscape into a carnival of color, a sci fi, day glo world. Inspiration… of course. What artist would use such brash color..
Happy autumn, there’s no turning back now!

Beautiful pond picture!! Believe it or not, our color here in the valley is just starting to turn which is very odd. The mountains are still in peak color. I am sure that the hot and dry weather surely has extended our summer.
It does make you wonder about global warming a little bit 🙁
What artist indeed! The middle picture is stunning.
Our peak is a week away, as usual.
Gorgeous – love your colours!
Hmm. That colorway on the right looks awfully familiar. 😉
Your fall color photos are heartbreakingly beautiful! It will be a month or two before we have any color here at our little lake in Louisiana, and it will NEVER rival yours.
Wonderful photos! Boy that colorway went fast! 😉
beautiful colors!
….soak ‘um up now…while you can…amazing how fast they will fade…
I love your blog for all the natural content and it’s lovely watching the seasons change across the globe. Those colours are simply stunning – thank you for sharing!
Oh my word… what gorgeous pictures! Isn’t this just the best time of the year? In Minnesota, we have a fair amount of color, but the wind has been fierce, so a lot of the leaves are gone already. Oh well, at least yarn doesn’t lose it’s color!
The photos and yarn are breathtaking!
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fall has the most beautiful and breathtaking pictures and you have captured them perfectly!
