The colors of the landscape on the first day of fall are shifting. Fall colors are mutable, first draining and then gathering richness. The dawn sun on the trees across the field show the rustiness of the trees as the fresh green seeps away.
As I drove around on my errands I saw the different fall colors arrive in different ways, vibrantly on the treetops.
The low branches of the beeches are turning gold and if I look closely I can see the tiny pointy buds of next year’s leaves forming.
A single golden tree along the river set against the green hillside.
This small maple is being transformed from emerald to ruby, but you can still see the transformation is not complete.
Soon reds will become more prominent. Already this weedy vine has a brilliant sash.
Rich gold is to be seen in all the local farmstands as the pumpkin harvest is set out. These pumpkins are in the Hawlemont School garden.
What colors are changing in your landscape?
Ahhh, those colors of fall sneak in almost overnight. I love the progression and the coolness of a fall morning. Great photos.
Such lovely rich golds in your photos, especially the first one. I just noticed the other day that a few of the trees are beginning to turn here. I’m hoping all the rain we had this year means we’ll have a colorful fall.
Layanee- The colors are changing faster every minute. It is very gold.
Rose – I am wishing for rain – and I don’t care whether it affect color. I just want rain!
