The leaves were brilliant, bright reds, golds, oranges and all colors in between. I am so happy I finally took photos, because it's rained the last 2 days and most of the colors are beginning to fade.
Isn't the gold reflection in this pond as magnificent, or more so, than the gold of the leaves on the tree?
I posted a couple of collages of my autumn photos in a previous post for Garden Blogger Muse Day, but I'll add them here, in case you didn't read my last post. While autumn has never been my favorite time of year, these photos leave me with no choice but to hold on to wonderful, warm memories of late October's beauty.
So many more beautiful autumn colors are on display over at The Home Garden, as part of Dave's Fall Color Project. Garden Bloggers from around the world have posted their breath-taking fall photos and Dave is displaying them for all to see.
Why not take a few moments and visit the The Home Garden? You'll be glad you did!
--Today I am thankful for reflections of autumn.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, Jan! It is hard not to love autumn with such vibrant colors. Kudos to your association for doing such a marvelous job of planting around the pond. And a happy belated Muse Day!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos. How fortuitous to be out and get such great photos before the rain knocked everything down.
ReplyDeleteJan you always make the most beautiful collages. The fall colors and your photographs are absolutely spectacular.
ReplyDeleteI tell you the fall has been spectacular and your photos surely prove it! Love that gold reflection on the water. So calming.
ReplyDeleteLove all the foliage, and also the contrast of the water and bark in the same photo shapes. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful display of Autumn colors....a tad bit jealous here...Yes, the gold reflecting in the water is sooo beautiful.
ReplyDeleteYou have captured the fall colors beautifully. I never get tired of looking at autumn leaves. I wish they lasted longer.

Wow, Jan, those are fabulous photos! You go girl. Keep workin that camera :-)
ReplyDeleteHow fortunate you are to live near such a spot. Fall beauty can be so fleeting, it is good you got there when you did. Your photos are lovely, I hope you were able to enjoy the subjects and didn't spend all your time behind a lens.
ReplyDeleteYou've really captured great scenes! Love the reflection aspect.
ReplyDeleteCameron
Hi Jan~~ Definitely a wonderful radiance in your neck of the woods. Isn't it fun to capture the fleeting beauty? Love it!
ReplyDeleteOh! The colors are just amazing! So much beauty!
ReplyDeleteHi Jan. Thanks for visiting my blog. You have some beautiful collages here! Such lovely color. Our trees have pretty much emptied out here in southeast Ohio, so I really enjoy seeing your trees. It looks like you use Picasa to make your collages. That's what I use, too. Take care!
ReplyDeleteEvery season has it's beauty, and you've captured the fall colors so gloriously in your lovely collages.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves here fell so quickly this year with all the wind and rain. I'm glad you didn't miss the chance to snap some shots of the pond area looking so vibrant.
I can see why you chose the leaf you did for your header.
ReplyDeleteLucy
