(32,036 posts)Because most of the trees are brilliantly colored, but not so many leaves on the ground,yet.
But then, you know that.

(32,036 posts)Thats the corner of my house down in the lower left.
Theres an empty lot next door, so I get the benefit of those leaves, as well.

(11,301 posts)Luckily is a wooded area so all the leaves get put back where they came from. Only problem, the oaks aren't very pretty, and they fall just about when the snow is about to fly.
Diamond_Dog
(32,036 posts)And they drop their leaves all at different times. It makes for a lonnnng leaf raking season.

(149,678 posts)The colors cannot be beat.
This is the major thing I miss, living in this part of CA. Even though I was quite young when we moved from Illinois, I still remember the turning trees and their magnificent colors.
Thank you so much for sharing the beauty!

(32,036 posts)Its almost like natures last hurrah until the snow comes. Im glad this photo brought back some good memories for you!

(23,334 posts)What a treat to see. Its been a long lovely fall here in MT. Leaves are just now starting to turn and we didnt even have a hard frost until a week or so ago. Ill bet that golden light bathes your home in a warm glow.
Diamond_Dog
(32,036 posts)Until the leaves fall off. Then we have to get the rakes out
.
I would love to see what your neck of the woods looks like right now.
MontanaMama
(23,334 posts)but leaves are changing quickly! Heres yesterdays view looking north from the end of my street. The snowy area is the foothills of the Rattlesnake Wilderness. Winter is creeping our way!

(32,036 posts)What a beautiful area you live in. Ive seen the Rocky Mountains once in my life many years ago. You just cant appreciate their majesty until you see them for real.

Diamond_Dog
(32,036 posts)Wishing you all the best in the aftermath of Ian. I hope you and yours are all OK.

(9,849 posts)The sun is just right for the yellow leaves (just as the diffuse light is perfect for Callalily's tree) and the shadows add dimensionality.
Reminds me of New England. (very long ago!) Instead of a summer vacation, I would take a foliage vacation through Vermont and New Hampshire.
Helps that it's right at your home!
Diamond_Dog
(32,036 posts)I love to notice light in pictures
morning, late afternoon, dusk
each one creates a certain mood. Thank you for noticing! Ill bet New England is gorgeous this time of year. We have some very nice scenery here in Ohio, as well.

(53,410 posts)Ive been looking for inspiration!
I have a tree on the corner of my condo that turns a bright lemony yellow which is just beginning to change now. I painted that tree in Summer, Fall and Winter just after snow fell. Im very happy with how it came out. I have all three of them hanging on the wall above the sofa in the living room, like a trilogy. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Your tree is gorgeous!
Diamond_Dog
(32,036 posts)Have you ever posted the paintings of your tree? Id love to see them. 🙂. What is fall like in Santa Fe?
Another artist friend of mine painted the same lighthouse in all 4 seasons.

(402 posts)I have 5 big trees like that in my yard, and I spend 2 solid weeks of raking every fall. Not looking forward to that!
