I’m really enjoying the fall season this year. Usually we have a week or two of fall and then we’re right into winter, so there’s not much opportunity to enjoy the colors. We are in dire need rain here in California, but while we all pray for some rain, I’m enjoying the fall colors.
LOL Laura, and I do not blame you in the least for not wanting a box of COLD, sometime you just can’t give it away! Guess we are stuck with it for a couple of months! 🙂
Beautiful pictures! We had that luck last year and I enjoyed a very long fall season with all those colours. It felt like Red Riding Hood was to be met everywhere… This year we didn`t geht as lucky. Enjoy while you can! 😉 and thanks for sharing the gorgeous impressions 🙂
That’s great to hear, Laura! My husband loves his new knee. It performed very well on our recent trip. I was the gimpy one this time. My right hip is not in the best shape :-(. I will probably have to do something about it one of these days.
I really appreciate how you use light in your photographs. That is one part of Fall I enjoy most, the soft deep light that lingers. Makes the trees leaves look like they are happily dancing into winter 🙂 Beautiful images!
Thanks so much! It’s so rare to see these trees around here but I guess they planted them some years ago, so my first fall in our new place was a pleasant surprise! Since California has much more subtle fall colors than these.
You are welcome. It appears that to catch all the views you’ll need to camp out and take pictures over a 24 hour period. That maybe too short a time frame.
Thanks so much Cathy! OMG..by the way, I found an AMAZING chiropractor that has helped me release adhesions in both knees. I am starting to feel really good! That’s what it’s been the whole time and why my first knee felt odd. Hurray!
Thank you Katrina. Yes, that’s the frog and bird habitat. It’s amazing how many birds are here. Here is a list of birds I’ve identified so far. And there are smaller birds that I have yet to identify!
Great blue heron
Great egret
Robin
Bluebird
Bluejay
Finch
Hummingbird
Sparrow
Sand piper
Red shouldered hawk
White peregrine falcon
Kingfisher
Crow
Duck
Comorant
Buzzard
Northern flicker
Green heron, juv. November
Northern Harrier, juv, November
you making me envious beyond words. i miss the foliage. a favorite season of mine. too bad we don’t get one here where i live in south east asia. these photos of yours make me dream about being there in person to soak in the beauty of the fall.
Well I made it look like we are bathed in it with the gallery but here in the bay area, all these trees were planted in our area, they are not indigenous and we don’t have the fall colors they have back in New England. Some day I’d love to see the colors back there. Thank you.
Thank you! All the leaves are almost gone now. We are waiting for the biggest storm in two years (which means five raindrops hahaha). So the leaves will be completely gone after that.
I’m glad you gave me an “OH WOW”! We don’t have a whole lot of these beautiful colors here in the Bay Area but in this area we just moved to, there are a lot of these trees!
November 16, 2014 at 1:40 pm
Wow, Laura! These are absolutely gorgeous! Cher xo
November 16, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Thank you!
November 16, 2014 at 1:43 pm

November 16, 2014 at 1:40 pm
These are all lovely, my favourite is the one with the fog!
November 16, 2014 at 1:41 pm
Thank you Victor! That is the view from our back deck. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 1:42 pm
I promise never to take a shot off our balcony fog or no fog 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 1:43 pm
haha
November 16, 2014 at 1:42 pm
WOW WOW WOW!! BEAUTIFUL, NOW IF YOU WILL TAKE VIRGINIA’S COLD WEATHER, I CAN SEND YOU A BOX OF COLD! LOL
November 16, 2014 at 1:45 pm
I think I’ll pass haha. 😛 But thank you for the wow’s! 😀
November 16, 2014 at 2:14 pm
LOL Laura, and I do not blame you in the least for not wanting a box of COLD, sometime you just can’t give it away! Guess we are stuck with it for a couple of months! 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 2:17 pm
I’d prefer to pass on the COLD but we really need RAIN so badly here!! It’s just awful. 😦
November 16, 2014 at 1:43 pm
Beautiful, I particularly like your last perspective of the leaves.. How did you get up and down for that shot, your knee must be getting better! 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 1:44 pm
Thank you! It is getting better although there is a slight “hump” there which was higher than where I was standing. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 1:47 pm
Thank-you for a very enjoyable visit. I hope to be back very soon. View you then.
November 16, 2014 at 1:48 pm
Thank YOU! 😀
November 16, 2014 at 1:56 pm
It’s my favourite time of year Laura….lovely captures
November 16, 2014 at 1:59 pm
Mine too Mark. Thank you!
November 16, 2014 at 1:58 pm
Absolutely amazing! The trees are dressed in their autumn finery and you capture the moment beautifully! Thanks for sharing.
November 16, 2014 at 1:59 pm
Thank you so much! They are definitely decked out. 🙂 Mother Nature doing her thing.
November 16, 2014 at 1:58 pm
Wonderful Laura
November 16, 2014 at 1:59 pm
Thanks so much Mike. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 2:02 pm
Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful photos.
November 16, 2014 at 2:07 pm
Thanks so much BookIdeas. 🙂 How can we deny Mother Nature’s Beauty!
November 16, 2014 at 2:15 pm
Fall is a beautiful season for photography
November 16, 2014 at 2:18 pm
It really is. Thank you for your comment. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 2:15 pm
WOW! This is so beautiful😊 Definitely does not look like this in Minnesota!
November 16, 2014 at 2:18 pm
Thank you lol. Hopefully it will be wet here soon!
November 16, 2014 at 2:33 pm
I love the fall colors but I love the fog the most. All great shots.
November 16, 2014 at 2:34 pm
Thank you Dan. I like the fog too. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 2:35 pm
Oh exquisite photos Laura. Love the lighting and the colours. Rain … we have plenty of it, wish I could send some over. Pouring as I type!
November 16, 2014 at 2:37 pm
Thanks Julie! Oh yesss, pleeease send some this way. It is just awful here!
November 16, 2014 at 3:10 pm
Me too your fall is something to fall for! Wow these images are stunning! 😀
November 16, 2014 at 4:29 pm
I’m so glad you fell for my fall images. Thank you. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 7:22 pm
❁◕ ‿ ◕❁ certainly!
November 16, 2014 at 3:11 pm
These look fantastic Laura, so glad you got out to capture some colour, stunning.
November 16, 2014 at 3:36 pm
Thanks so much Leanne. It is so nice to be getting out lately. I’m a happy camper. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 3:13 pm

November 16, 2014 at 3:36 pm
Thank you. Red Riding Hood lol!
November 16, 2014 at 3:34 pm
You captured the fall season so nicely!
November 16, 2014 at 3:37 pm
Thanks so much! My new knees are starting to perform. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 5:53 pm
That’s great to hear, Laura! My husband loves his new knee. It performed very well on our recent trip. I was the gimpy one this time. My right hip is not in the best shape :-(. I will probably have to do something about it one of these days.
November 16, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Oh no about your hip. I’m sorry to hear. The good news is that hip replacements are much easier to recover from than knee replacements.
November 16, 2014 at 6:06 pm
I know. I just need to get used to the idea 😊.
November 17, 2014 at 6:45 am

November 16, 2014 at 3:51 pm
I really appreciate how you use light in your photographs. That is one part of Fall I enjoy most, the soft deep light that lingers. Makes the trees leaves look like they are happily dancing into winter 🙂 Beautiful images!
November 16, 2014 at 4:25 pm
I’m so glad you noticed the light. I’ve been trying to be more cognizant of it in my recent photos. Thank you Carrie!
November 16, 2014 at 4:35 pm
magnificent colors
November 16, 2014 at 5:02 pm
Thank you 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 4:46 pm

November 16, 2014 at 5:03 pm
Thank you! 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 5:28 pm
Beautiful pictures, Laura. I envy you the weather. We had our first snow accumulation today.
November 16, 2014 at 5:58 pm
Our weather seems nice but we are in a severe drought. We need rain so badly! Count your blessings that you have water.
November 16, 2014 at 5:58 pm
Oops and thank you!!
November 16, 2014 at 5:39 pm
It’s my favorite time of year!
November 16, 2014 at 6:00 pm
Mine too!
November 16, 2014 at 5:56 pm

November 17, 2014 at 6:49 am
Thank you Tim. I love our view and it seems to always have different “looks”.
November 17, 2014 at 10:03 am
You are welcome. It appears that to catch all the views you’ll need to camp out and take pictures over a 24 hour period. That maybe too short a time frame.

Not even close! But thanks for the compliment. 🙂

Absolutely stunning! I especially love the composition of the leaves with placement of the lighting.
November 20, 2014 at 7:34 am
Thank you so much! I think that’s my favorite as well. I just love fall and the colors.
November 21, 2014 at 12:37 pm
I’m loving the light on the leaves in your last photo. See girl, it’s all about the light with me!! rofl
November 21, 2014 at 1:18 pm
Thanks Sue. I’m now trying to focus on the light as well. We see the light! Hallelujah!!

November 28, 2014 at 8:53 am
Thank you! All the leaves are almost gone now. We are waiting for the biggest storm in two years (which means five raindrops hahaha). So the leaves will be completely gone after that.
December 7, 2014 at 1:45 pm
Am I allowed to say “OH WOW?” The colors are so vibrant! Why do I never run into anything like this? 😀
December 7, 2014 at 1:58 pm
I’m glad you gave me an “OH WOW”! We don’t have a whole lot of these beautiful colors here in the Bay Area but in this area we just moved to, there are a lot of these trees!
