Embracing Autumn: Nature’s Changing Colors

Last weekend I was so happy by a beautiful weather; the sun shone brightly, the skies were a stunning shade of blue, and the air was neither cold nor warm—comfortable is maybe the word to use, especially if you are properly dressed for the season. The best of autumn colors was not yet totally visible, but the enchanting season of changing colors was right at our doorstep, whispering promises of vibrant reds, golds, and copper hues that would soon adorn the trees. As I took in the view, I pulled out my camera and snapped some photos from a nearby gravel road, capturing the landscape where nature seemed to pause in anticipation before the full display of autumn arrived. The gentle rustling of leaves and the very recognizable noise from the gathering Canadian geese created a loud backdrop, the sound so seasonal as can be.

Nature – Autumn Foliage

This time we focus on Autumn Colours, Autumn Leaves, Fall Foliage .. I think you get the message.

For Nature Photo Challenge #31

Keeping it short and sweet or not… take a guess 🙂

Sunny Sunday 3

I have had luck with sunny Sundays, two in a row. I went for a drive searching to find Ruska ( one word in finish language to describe the process of nature turning to the beautiful colors of autumn)

Here few more photos from that day.

I found some lovely spots. I will share some now and some other posts as usual I have lots of shots and I like to share 🙂 Hope you like them.

This colorful time passes so quickly as the leaves fall and sooner than we want to be, we are already surviving November. I have several years been doing that here on my blog with fellow bloggers.

Which one ~ 2

I am going to post these post about two edits so I can try to find out what people like, I might go over the top with some, but as I am trying to learn a new artsy take on some photographs by giving your opinion you are greatly helping me learn a new skill. Please comment I truly appreciate it. I am going to post the favorite one on my FB account.

I went slightly overboard with this one. SORRY!! there are two sets of choices. I could not make up my mind which two to pick 🙂

This is an old country road in Kirkkonummi, I love this old oak tree next to the road. The entryway to the property next door is also inviting. I always admire this view which ever season maybe.

Autumn carries more gold in its pocket than all the other seasons.

The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking…

Bittersweet October. The mellow, messy, leaf-kicking, perfect pause between the opposing miseries of summer and winter. 

Now Autumn’s fire burns slowly along the woods and day by day the dead leaves fall and melt.

Looking for Signs of autumn

It was one of those perfect Finnish autumnal days which occur more frequently in memory than in life.
