Fall


Ever thought about why we refer to Autumn as fall? How many thousands of leaves have you raked so far? The top photo is my rake in between sessions.

Interesting photos, especially the leaf on the rake. :D The one thing that is really nice about living in Central Texas is that most of our trees are evergreens. The trees, at least around my place, that do shed are not much a problem; the leaves blow away. So while we miss the beauty of fall, there is not much work.

spectacular! on the header, like an expensive millions of dollar painting. Magnifico on the leaves caught in the railiing. Love it with the contrast of the lines of black and the bright color of the leaf.

I like your header as well.

Rake? I thought is was a leaf caught against a grill.
:-D This coming from someone who lives in a two-season country with no autumn/fall and hence, no rake. -- Bom @ www.plantchaser.com

I've raked a couple of million.

Love both these pictures, but especially the first one! Please take more breaks and take more pictures like this one!

Ginny said...

Oh, man, Judy! Another beautiful series of shots! I never would have thought of a theme like this. The first photo looks like the leaves are in jail and trying to get out! And I like the lines in it, too! The second one is just plain georgous, mostly due to the light!

I like the image of the leaf in the rake. Thousands of leaves on the ground here!

Your photos are so gorgeous. Fall is colour. Brilliant clour and you captured it well.

I will never tire of the colors orange, red & yellow together. I like the pattern the chain link fence gives to the bottom photo.

Simply marvelous...and No, I had never thought of that. Very interesting indeed. The colors in the second photo are fantastic. Love all the Autumn colors, only wish the season would last a little longer.

Pat said...

I was wondering what the leaves were stuck on! I was thinking a metal fence or something! Cool!

And how did you take that header shot? Awesome!

Catherine said...

No leaves to rake here ~ we just have snow. :(

Simply beautiful!
Lovely photos... :)

~Cheryl said...

I wondered but would never have guessed that it was your rake! I like the pretty colors you caught. I coulda and shoulda raked a bunch of leaves over the weekend, but I chose to be a slug. :)

Christopher said...

they're all over the place now, trees are starting to look pretty empty

MedaM said...

Beautiful photos of leaves, inded. Your header is so beautiful, interesting and attractive.

Both are captivating but I like the first one for its
simple composition which seems to connote both Fall and fall!

maiaT said...

Beautiful shots. I love the warm autumn colors in the second one.

Judy Sheldon-Walker said...

Love the photos, and I don't rake. I mow the leaves and let them make mulch. :-)
