Falling for Washington

in flowers on October 27, 2016 October 27, 2016

Fall is my favorite time of year. We get crisp weather, hoodies, lattes, halloween, and, finally, colorful leaves on the trees. I haven’t found the time yet to go on a hike or drive through the mountains to really capture the beauty of the fall colors, so these are all from my front yard. Work with what you’ve got!

Pine cone. (I cheated, this is from California)

Hydrangea. The color is almost gone. Last blooms of the season.

Delicate blue and purples in this macro shot.

Red maple

Water droplets on red

Veins of yellow

Almost all of a leaf

Water on the back of a leaf.

And vertical because the photos look different

Leaves coating the yard

Green Japanese Maple against black

Detail of my Japanese maple

Red branch

Green against gold

The ends haven't turned yet — The ends haven’t turned yet

This is the neighbor's tree... — This is the neighbor’s tree…

I liked the shape of the branches in this one

Detail of two leaves

Black and white because I liked the shape and texture of these

Have I mentioned how much I love Japanese maples?

I liked the color contrast here

I liked the curves formed by the branches
