Soft Landings

I like this one a lot. The colours are almost startling against the wet, muddy ground.

In The Rain

A Certain Earthiness

Lovely rustic colours. 

Apple Blush

The delicate pastels of autumn

Starfish on Sand of Ice

Carnival of Contrasts

Marmalade

These are the colours I imagine and the mood I want, when I romanticise autumn. 

Bathing in Light

Drink that sun in while you can

Falling Solo

The autumn leaves are falling in earnest, often gathering in earnest brightly-coloured bunches. 

But this one fell solo, for a striking contrast. 

Even more striking with the help of Photoshop. 

Autumn at its most Radiant

The kind of day we always imagine when we dream of the perfect autumn day.

It does exist!

 Dream on...

... into spring.

Autumn Symphony

If these colours could sing...

On the Ground

Fallen leaves scattered on the wet ground, like snow. 

Storm-Grey in the Sun

The sun got eaten up by the clouds soon enough. 

Jewels on Blue

The sort of autumn day that exists in book - beautifully-jewelled and sunny and warm!

Flaming Liquid Amber

The sun doth shine in autumn - sometimes.

Although again from the 'prepped earlier' basket, the Liquid  Amber leaves are beautiful.

Rubies in the Sun

Avenues of ruby-red and sunshine-yellow! Pretty spectacular.

(This pic is from the 'prepared earlier' basket - all current photos are hampered by the never-ending skies. And I just wanted to remind myself that the sun does occasionally shine in autumn too!)

Citrus in the Sky

It's a beautiful change when leaves shift from that palest of summer greens into the buttery yellow - all the shades of gentle ripeness of Golden Delicious apples. 

Same photo but with a photoshopped-warming filter.

The apple colours of the leaves are closer to reality now, but the photoshopping has banished the reality of the glum rain too. 

Leaves on Fire under a Grey Sky

I never realised just how many grey days - overcast, misty and convectional - we've already had in just the first few weeks of autumn. 

Still, these leaves leap out to grab your attention in their rich, warm colours...
