A week shy of Thanksgiving, the fall colours in the Ottawa Valley are just starting, but what a start.
They’re smooth and lumpy.
They’re partial and complete.
They’re near and far.
They’re expected and un.
They’re many and one.
And they’re just starting.
Spectacular !
Ralph – Many thanks – and yes, it was a spectacular day.
Beautiful pics!!
Mary – Many thanks.
Beautiful colours Isabel. I love the Fall.
Ken – Thank you. Me too. (Although I guess “me two” would also work in a “and baby makes three” sort of way.)
Beautiful colours and beautiful photos! Our walking group on Friday went to Springbank to stroll through the fall colours, as you note, some plants fully changed, some summer green, and every shade inbetween.
Judith – Thank you. I’ll look forward to seeing your photos.
thank you for not Photoshopping the colours like so many photogs do — saturating the colours.
Barbara – 🙂 I do tweak the contrast sometimes and the exposure, but try to keep them looking natural.
For a few days, we walk and ride in glory. Whatever one’s woes, it is impossible to resist their uplifting response to the onset of winter. All of this may be why my favourite colours are orange, lemon, and crimson. Yet, when I come in from the brisk air and blazing colours, I have a strong urge to hibernate.
Laurna – I do wonder how much of our emotional reactions to the seasons stems from their associated survival cues in our evolutionary past. Of course, the cues (& seasons!) would have been markedly different in Africa . . .
Isabel
Love the fall colours. You’ve captured them so well.
Tom – Thanks kindly.
