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.

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

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
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 🙂
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
hugs
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
soo very beautiful fallen for fall, Laura! The lighting is incredible.
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
such lovely colours…as we are frozen i love that you share these.
November 16, 2014 at 6:01 pm
Hoping this thaws you out one degree. 😛
November 16, 2014 at 6:07 pm
only one 😉 thanks!
November 17, 2014 at 6:45 am
ha! Well one is better than none. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 6:40 pm
Beautiful and golden autumn where you are!! Love them!
November 17, 2014 at 6:45 am
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.
November 16, 2014 at 7:24 pm
Nice Laura!! I love how you feel the light in these.
November 17, 2014 at 6:46 am
Thank you Frank! I was channeling autumn for sure. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 7:35 pm
Absolutely beautiful photos Laura. Keep them coming. Take care. -Max-
November 17, 2014 at 6:47 am
Thank you so much Max. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 8:28 pm
Beautiful pictures!
November 17, 2014 at 6:47 am
Thank you Sarita!
November 16, 2014 at 9:36 pm
The image with the fog/mist is beautiful – very romantic.
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.
November 16, 2014 at 10:49 pm
Fall is great indeed and you capture it so lovely!
Have a good Monday!
Kind regards,
Tieme
November 17, 2014 at 6:49 am
Thank you Tieme! I appreciate it. Have yourself a good Monday too. 🙂
November 16, 2014 at 11:10 pm
Laura…. LAURA…. these are just brilliant photos… I’m enamoured by these, just love the colours you’ve managed to capture…
November 17, 2014 at 6:49 am
Rob….ROBBBB…..thank you!!! Seriously, I am so pleased you like them. 🙂
November 17, 2014 at 3:07 am
Wondelful serie.
November 17, 2014 at 6:50 am
Thank you Marcos. 🙂
November 17, 2014 at 6:47 am
Very nice, Laura.
November 17, 2014 at 6:50 am
Thank you Ravi! I made it look like this area is draped with autumn colors! 😉
November 17, 2014 at 6:52 am
You sure did. I almost thought it was NC!
November 17, 2014 at 6:53 am
Not even close! But thanks for the compliment. 🙂
November 17, 2014 at 9:16 am
Gorgeous shots!
November 17, 2014 at 9:17 am
Thanks so much!
November 17, 2014 at 9:51 am
Very nice Laura.

Beautiful, Laura, just beautiful. Thank you. Love, Amy
November 17, 2014 at 4:22 pm

November 17, 2014 at 5:38 pm

November 18, 2014 at 8:40 am
I love fall too beautiful pictures!
November 18, 2014 at 11:18 am
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!
November 18, 2014 at 9:08 am
Lovely images, Laura! My favorite is also the view from your deck…gorgeous colors. Is that your frog habitat in the background?? 🙂
November 18, 2014 at 11:19 am

Such beautiful and colourful images. I cross finger for some rain for you. 🙂
November 18, 2014 at 8:21 pm
Thank you so much. I appreciate it. 🙂
November 19, 2014 at 10:55 pm
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.
November 20, 2014 at 7:22 am
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.
November 20, 2014 at 5:36 am
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 24, 2014 at 12:55 pm
This is BEAUTIFUL!
November 24, 2014 at 5:40 pm
Why thank you so much! I’m glad you like it. 🙂
November 25, 2014 at 7:34 am
i am a huge fan of Photography!
November 25, 2014 at 7:35 am
😀
November 28, 2014 at 8:43 am
love this, Laura! 🙂
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!
