Quest for Color, Part 1

Fall rolls around again, so time to head for the hills, look for a little fall color!

After a very dry, then very wet spring, followed by a mostly dry summer, we now have a late fall. No frost, and temps have been summer like. I'm not sure if that affects the color or not, maybe it does. For this time of year, it's been VERY green, with not much color change yet.

Though in spots, it has changed, but the colors are very dull. Some of the leaves have a lot of dark spots, some fungus or something. Some leaves have fallen already. Not sure this is gonna be all that colorful of a fall this year. Bummer!

A meadow with a pond, a little color but a lot of green. Shot in HDR, which helped pop a little detail out in the sky, which was looking almost plain blue. The clouds have kind of a unique shape to them I think.

A curtain of leaves, yellow and green - the order of the day.

I'll head out again next weekend as long as the weather permits, maybe find a little more color in another location.
