We don't see a lot of autumn colours around here so I really appreciate it when we do

Interesting juxtaposition with the greenery, especially in that first one.

I love Autumn colours. I want to live somewhere where autumn really looks like autumn!

gotta move up to New Hampsha, we got yer colors right here. It's funny how unappreciative we are with them though. Tourists come by the busload and I just want 'em to get off my highway. The road I drive to come home is gorgeous and I barely notice it. I am trying to do better though. The first two weeks of October go so fast.

I like your maple leaves, amazing the variety in that species. So far as I know, none of our around here look anything like that.

nice set and reminder of what's around the corner for us here in North America

Thanks both.

We do often get so used to whats around us that we stop appreciating it. I think that's where being a photographer often helps us to really look and see, and therefore appreciate things others around us no longer do.

Nicely done, love the colours. Reminds us in Northern US and Canada what we have in store for us in a couple of months and that we should appreciate the beauty. Some people in the world don't get to see these lovely fall colours.

That's right ... it takes me ages to find something like this in our area, and even then, it's one or two trees perhaps ... not whole vistas of it. I've got to jump over to NZ soon during autumn!!
