It seems that fall has arrived again and it looks look it is going to be a colorful one this year. I took these yesterday, and the colors are changing noticeably, from day to day. Enjoy!

Oh, yesss! Those are proper autumn colors, and not the drab browns and pale greens we get here. Gorgeous. You have cold nights and fairly dry weather I presume?

In West Texas, we don't get much Fall color - some leaves turn yellow, a few turn red, but mostly, they stay green until we get a sudden freeze and then they turn brown & fall off all at once. It makes for a big mess at my place, let me tell you!

Oh boy your photographs are a sheer delight Tom.  Please, if you have the time, take some more for us.
Although we in Scotland do have trees which have different coloured autumnal colours we don't get the same effect as those in your photogarphs. Our trees are more 'patchy' and without those glorious concentrated colours. Really stunning.

Love the pics, we don't get much fall color in Louisiana, kinda like Texas, a little yellow, a few reds and then brown after a freeze.
