Memories of autumn for me.
I bet fall is probably the one season you miss the most. Do you have any maples that grow in your area that color up?
Nope. The most colorful trees are Redbuds, which are only good in some years and Chinese Tallow, which are invasive.
Crispy autumn maple.
Yes, it is. This particular tree for some reason does not form an excision layer in the fall, so the leaves hang on for most of the winter like beech do. A curious thing!
Like stained glass….beautiful!
Thank you!
Beautiful image Eliza!
Thank you, Reed. 🙂
gold bold
no more clorophil
the thrill gone
lovely autumnal girded golden skirts

Wonderful glow!
Thank you, Laurie! 🙂
That is absolutely beautiful Eliza! Every season sure owns it own beauty.
Thank you, Maria. Yes, indeed, with eyes trained, beauty can be seen all around us. 🙂
The rainbow in the bokeh is lagniappe, for sure!
Yes, it was a pleasant surprise I found in the processing. 🙂
Autumn gold for sure:)

Stunning, Eliza. Love the light, color and your composition. 🍁❤️

So beautiful! What a perfect dose of fall! Reminds me of autumns back home!
Thank you, Jackie. I’m glad it evokes good memories!
Beautiful, crisp colors! The orbs add touch of wonder. 🍁
Thank you, Barbara! It felt rather magical with the rainbow bokeh.
That’s really beautiful Eliza. And ‘gilded’ describes it perfectly.

Thank you, MJ. 🙂
Beautiful colour and that central leaf looks something like a dancer.
Thank you, Andrea. I thought similar as it danced in the breeze. 🙂
Ahhhh, the soft light through leaves in autumn… Perfect. ❤
Thank you, Laura Denise!
This time of year is superb for observing the sun shining through colorful leaves, and you captured it perfectly here, Eliza — photo and title.
Thank you, Jet. Spring through fall, viewing the sun through the leaf canopy is so beautiful to me. 🙂
Wonderful – and the main leaf has a rainbow behind it to add to the effect.
Thank you, Susan. That rainbow was a sweet surprise. 🙂
Pretty light and bokeh!
Thank you, Denise. The rainbow bokeh was a pleasant surprise. 🙂
