Weather forecast: Rain and winds, certain to defoliate trees that have been strutting their finest autumn stuff.
I’ve been trying for weeks to get shots I’m happy with. Even when I’ve been tickled with the light the camera hasn’t caught what I’ve seen.
So as the rains began I took some now-or-never shots. These are some of local commenter “SAM’s” favorites.
In the “Evergreen State” hillsides filled with fir, cedar, and pine trees glow with bright spots of deciduous trees saying goodbye before they take a winter snooze.
Seeing colours like this is an other good reason for having autumn. Yes you are right. The camera never sees the scene the same way we do.
You got some colour there. The first photo is very pretty. The trees here don’t have many leaves on them due to the windy conditions we always seem to have this time of year so you really have to look to see some foliage but its there.
Absolutely gorgeous color. I especially like your first photo.
I do envy you those rich autumnal colors…and those hillsides covered with such beauty. I do not envy you the cold weather and snow that may come your way, though. I’m too old to fight all that stuff. It was cooler this morning on the golf course and that was a welcome feeling! In the high 50s instead of the l0w 70s!
Beautiful colours! I’ve found my problem thus far has been with the light- not enough sunny days, too much overcast. The colours are coming along though.
Isn’t nature awesome Kay ✨
Blazing hues and beautiful sights.
I particularly like the close-ups. Around here, it has been dry for a few weeks, so folks are complaining that the color is less than usual. I think the might be true, but I think the real issue is that the colors have been delayed. They are pretty nice at the moment.
