Friday's Focus - 08/10/2018 - Fall Colors

[JimFox]

Today's Focus will be Fall Colors as a few people lately, (and I am not naming names) though one of the names could be Doug, have been posting some fall color photos and have been starting to get me inspired for that time of year when the weather turns crisp and leaves turn gold, orange and red.

I will post up a fall color shot or two of mine first from my favorite place for fall colors, Colorado.

Jim

Everyone else, add your photos to this thread.

Probably rapids rather than falls most of the year but they take on the appearance of falls when...

And one from along the Wonderland Trail at Mt. Rainier:

Here's a few from over the years. It's still early around here, and everywhere I'd guess!

Beautiful job of making sense of a pattern of leaves, Zeph.

Guilty as charged! Of course a little wine to go with the color may be in order...

And sometimes fall collides with winter

Doug, man you have such a great eye. All of these are great, but it's your tight shot in #1 that really jumps out at me. Mainly because I am always shooting so wide that personally I miss those kind of fall color shots. I have been trying to get better at remembering to look down when I am out with fall colors.

Ha ha, yeah I was being teased by Dougs photos, so I thought I would share the teasing with everyone.

This is a cool shot Zeph, and a great addition to the thread!

There is an interesting story behind this image, Jim. I was on the mountain across from Mount Wilson near Telluride. I had to pee so I went off of the pathway to find a suitable place where I couldn’t be seen. As I was going through the forest I saw this puddle. The water had frozen over night and captured these leaves in a very artistic pattern. The raindrops on the leaves had frozen too but had melted by the time I got there. So now you know why I was looking down. I was negotiating my way through the forest.
