    What a beautiful array of colours, shapes and textures! Each season has a beauty of its own.

    You can see the beauty of the trees in fall from what they leave.

    Beautiful array —even in the “death” of trees there is beauty in knowing new birth is on the other side of dying and letting go.

  7. Beautiful – thank you

  8. Alice says:

    The layered-look of Autumn. Quite a variety growing there.

  9. Treah Pichette says:

    That would make a great jigsaw puzzle!

  10. It’s definitely like a colorful, crunchy carpet out there.

  11. Beautiful autumn forest floor ~ I love looking down under the trees as much as I love looking up into them. Love the mottled colors.

  12. I see mulch and nutrients.

    A treasure of nutrients for the forest floor or the garden!

    We’re still so green. This is a lovely scene, and would tempt me to visit east Texas again — but I’ll have to avoid the pine forests if I want colored leaves!

      Thank you, Linda. We’re at the tail end of the season with the oak and beech trees left for color. But I am enjoying the smaller shrubs around the yard and seed heads that shine this time of year. Beauty abounds!

    A beautiful collage and image Eliza! 🧡

  26. Debbie says:

    Such variety! And how cool that leaves don’t all turn at the same time … or the same colors!

  27. Widdershins says:

    Heh, our front lawn looks like that at the moment. 🙂

  28. Fun to explore everything in this shot 😊

  29. It certainly makes a fine fall rug!

  30. Robin says:

    I love the various colors and stages. A mixture of life. Beautiful. 🙂

  31. Murtagh's Meadow says:

    Lovely leaves Eliza

  32. Nature’s random tapestry. Beautiful, Eiza!

  33. A beautiful and colorful find and capture!

  34. Here at my place with a mix like that they seem to breakdown much quicker than say stacks of all Oak leaves.

    • Eliza Waters says:

      Yes, they do. Oak leaves have tougher cell walls, so are slower to break down. I have a big oak tree in the back yard with tons of leaves. Once they are on the ground, I run them over with the lawn mower to ‘speed up’ the breakdown process.
      Hope you have a great weekend, Eunice!

      • Went to Popham Beach in Maine today tomorrow the Big E for Fiber show.

      • Eliza Waters says:

        Are you a fiber artist as well as a painter?

      • I used to spin as a child and I crochet and do macrame being 65 I lived in a time where my mom and aunts did everything and taught me so much but then I followed dads lead and worked 18 hours a day which left little time for crafts so now I guess I have finally just embraced retirement as I was forced into it with the wreck in 2000. Not in my rig but in a van hit by a Foxwood bus 😦 I was too young so fought back and trucked for 2 more years before the body said no more.

      • Eliza Waters says:

        One never knows where the road will lead us, I guess. Glad you are now able to sit back a bit and do the things that you find pleasurable. The best retirement has to offer. 🙂

      • Bless you it has been a journey for sure to find peace within.

    Your talent with finding bouquets all around you is a gift, Eliza. I loved this forest floor photo, so colorful and complete.

  36. Beautiful colours Eliza.

  37. Priti says:

    Wow! Colour. Nice shot. Thank you 🎉🙂

    Out for a hike yesterday, and I loved looking at the trodden floor of the forest path… made me feel like I was in the midst of autumn. Your photo here rekindles the same feeling, an amazing array of the colors of fall.
