I already revealed two pics from the evening when I went downtown without Sue: the ones in which I went a little wild with my Halloween-style post-processing. This was another, more or less, straight photo from that night. Many little trees along Bridge St are lit in orange; this was one of them with hints of others in the distance.
The next day, on a neighbourhood stroll, this time with wifey Susie, the sun was brilliantly lighting a red bush with an orange tree behind. The green grass in front looks good too.
Unfortunately, yesterday gave us a taste of what is coming — bleak, colourless November. The sky was overcast, and much of the colour was down in Hackberry Park.
Around the corner, however, there was a little more colour, as well as a bit more light, but it is still clear that we are trending toward bleak.
I'll toss this next and last photo in because I have it, and I don't know what else to do with it. I did the final bbq on Saturday afternoon, and I seized the opportunity to photograph the interesting changing of the leaves on our lilac bush in which sections have turned very orange while most of the leaves remain green or close to it. We don't recall seeing it go quite this way in previous years. Of course, in my case, I don't recall much at all.
Cool shots...especially the last one. Beautiful Fall colors!
ReplyDeleteHappy week!

Great shots, AC.
ReplyDeleteSilly old lilac bush...it's playing games with Jack Frost apparently. I wonder what it will do in the next week! Inquiring minds, etc. Number 2 is pretty nice with the three colors popping out at you.
ReplyDeleteWe had another frost last night. We’ll have to see if the remaining slower pots survived.
DeleteThe bleak is on the horizon for sure! I hope it goes as fast as the leaves this month!
ReplyDeleteI no longer have a final BBQ anymore. With global warming, I find I'm able to sneak one or two in during months I would never have considered in decades past. For me, the final BBQ of the season occurs only if my LP tank runs out. I won't refill it until spring at that point.
ReplyDeleteToo much snow out the back door for several months, so it’s best just to put it out of my mind.
Deletethe colours are so vivid on that second one.
ReplyDeleteIt was great in the sunlight that day. We were drawn to it along a street we don’t normally walk when we saw it form the corner.
DeleteThe shot of the bench is just perfect. But I like all of these.
ReplyDeleteI like that the town lights up the trees. Yes, November is bleak.
ReplyDeleteWe tend to focus on red and orange as accent colors. However, we need cool colors like green and blue, too. In fact, I prefer blue over red and orange. It’s my favorite color, which is why I love looking at the sky so much.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a lovely street and night view. Rick says color up north is pretty much gone now; downstate barely starting. I'm especially fond of the second-to-last pic with the red roof building and golden tree. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteNot bleak, just beauty of a different sort . . . (choke!)
ReplyDeleteGlorious captures.
