November 2013 Leaves

The colors of autumn leaves are the best part of the fall season - it’s like a last hurrah before the drabness of winter sets in. I’ve taken several walks this fall close to my home in Maryland. It has not been the best year for fall color but there has been enough to collect up some favorite images for this post. It’s almost impossible to pick a favorite vista:

The red maple against the sky,

The leaf strewn path,

Looking up through the tall trees toward the sun-filled sky,

One tree containing all the colors of autumn,

 And a tall gingko just beginning to turn yellow with wisps of clouds overhead. 

Of course the leaves are also beautiful if you look more closely too. I’ve grouped some of my favorites into the slide show below.
