Autumn Images: Black and White

So often, Autumn is all about color.
I thought it might be interesting to take some time to focus on the shapes and more subtle shadings of Autumn instead, viewing them in black and white.
I hope you enjoy my latest “stroll” through Fall.

A Stroll Through Early Autumn…

 
 
 
 
 
 
 late blooming roses
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 shades of blue. berries for birds, still plentiful
                                         
    
 
 
 
 
 
hearty marigolds, hold their own
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
delicate pinks 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
lush greens, still to be seen
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
the underbrush, alive with color
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
brilliant reds, slowly emerge 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
swaying in the  breeze…
 
  
 
 
 
 
 glistening cobwebs
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 mountain ash, in full glory 
 
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
steps to the lake. secret revealed
 
 
  
 
summer bids
farewell with
autumn’s colorful
return!

 The trees and plants in our area are still holding on to their summer “garb” for the most part, so I am featuring a file photo, taken last year. Can’t wait for this year’s “color show” to unfold, hopefully soon.
I also am looking  forward to sharing views of your [...]
