Hunting for fall----

[sheltiesmama]

Living in Southeast Texas we don't get as much of the fall coloring that the more northern states get. I still went to a local park hoping to find some hint of the fall colors.

This is for Leona. I thought of her when I saw this as I know she likes trees. I should have gotten further back so I could get more of the knots that were on it. A very knotty tree----



Thought I had found some fall color here, but when I got to the other side of the lake I saw that the tree was actually dead. I like the reflections tho----



The bridge over the same little lake---



I found my fall color as I was leaving the lake area. Poor thing was just laying on the ground waiting for me. For some reason I really like this shot----



Enjoy. Comments always welcome and appreciated.

WOW, they are amazing, I love the tree with all its knots, it look kinds deformed. The lake with the reflection of the tree is the money shot, really needs to become a wall hanger for sure.
Thanks for sharing.

Nice set. I'm with Glyn, the one with the reflection should definitely hang on the wall.

Hi Shirly - I knew Leona was a "knotty" girl ... they are all very beautiful images .. I'm glad you got your Fall colos photos ... very nice

[sheltiesmama]

Thank you all very much. Your words mean a lot to me.

LOL@Hayward. I didn't mean Leona was 'knotty'. I meant she likes trees. LOL

Very nice! Eventho the tree was dead it made a wonderful image of fall colors. I love the reflection of it. I am orginally from central Texas so I know what you mean about the lack of fall colors. Seems like the trees are green one day and dormant the next. I'm in the desert now and we have to look even harder to find any fall foliage.

Why thank you Shirley...how nice of you to think of me...I do love it...
And that second shot is a stunner...love the reflection. These are all lovely shots.

All great shots Shirley, esp no 4. You shouldnt have told us the tree was dead, we would never have sussed that out! I really enjoyed viewing these. Paul
