Beautiful autumn of 2013 in pictures

Post by I-AM »

Hello!

We are having such a splendid autumn here. One would not believe. Spent a few days in the village of my forefathers and took many, many shots.

Enjoy a selection of few... :hithere

Well hello Robert :)

The camera quality of these photos is excellent, and they are absolutely, stunningly beautiful. I am not a very partial person but I would have to say I definitely have a particular fondness for the season of Autumn!

I really love when, as can be seen clearly in your photos, there are still a whole bunch of green trees among the ones going red, orange, and yellow, I find it just adds that much more to the view.

Lastly, I hope this isn't a silly question but those last two photos are of burs, right??

Love
Lucky

Hello, Lucky. They are dead thistles. The region where these photos were taken had a few below zero Celsius nights in early October, meaning some plants gave up.

When alive, they look like this:

These are beautiful! Where were they taken? With the steep slopes and trees they almost look like the Ozarks where I live :)

I was treated to some beautiful autumn views and you may find this hard to believe, but even a little bit of snow! :bana: When I said a little bit I am not a kidding...it was melted by noon, but not before I took a long walk and made mental memories to take back home with me. (I arrived back in Australia yesterday..truly battling jet lag and unusual for me, a chest cold. :roll: )

Sandy!

I am happy to hear you are safely back in the land of expensive... :hithere

I know it was snowing in the northern US while you were there. Saw the footage on TV.
