The colors of the fall foliage in my area of Northern Virginia are not very impressive. Generally we fade gradually from green to brown and then the leaves fall off of the trees. Fortunately, though, pops of bright color periodically remind me of the colors that I would see when I was growing up in New England.
It is still a bit early for those colors to appear, but I did notice a few traces of autumn color when I was out with my camera this week. Mostly it was individual colorful leaves, but I did notice a few trees as I gazed across the pond at Huntley Meadows Park that had jumped ahead of their compatriots and were already showing their blazing red autumn color.
Autumn is my favorite time of the year, especially the early days of autumn.

Very nice. Our leaves here are spectacular this year. Hoping to get out and enjoy them this weekend.
This is the best season, Mike.
Very nice Mike! Here in NJ there are quite a few very colorful trees already! I will probably post some images of the soon.
So beautiful ‘
Love those colours 😍 I hope I get a chance to photograph fall again someday soon.
Thanks. Hopefully we will get a bit more color soon, but I might have to drive to the mountain to find the brighter fall colors.
I love autumn, too. Traveling through NY an PA right now and not seeing much color, which surprises me. Thanks for sharing your lovely photos. 🙂
At this time of the year, it seems that the amount of fall color is very much location-specific. I am hoping to go on a drive next week to the Shenandoah Mountains here in Virginia and with a little luck I will see some color.
I look forward to the photos! 🙂
