MORE AUTUMNAL COLORS!
It’s a lot harder to get the colors right on the photograph that one might think. Especially the reds. They may look like red to your eyes, but to the camera, they appear closer to bronze-brown. The problem is that leaves are a mix of colors, including more orange than red and a sizable dollop of yellow and magenta.
I took a bunch of pictures and I spent hours trying to make the colors look the way they looked to me. They don’t exactly, but they are close. Regardless, they are as close as I could get them.
My house with its maple tree. I couldn’t get the red correct without making the house look really strange. Sorry about that.
Much closer, but still more orange than red. Pretty, though.
This is relatively accurate, though the reds are a bit too orangy.
Still maple. Maybe a bit more red?
This is close to the real color, but it blocked out all the other colors!
This may be the closest to the real color. Not as dark a red color, but the range of colors is right.

Our perception of colour changes with time too. I love the one with the bright red leaves on the dark back ground.
You could frame that one.
BTW your notices appear in my comments location.

Those darn trees just don’t cooperate, do they? They fake you out with all those beautiful colors, but the camera knows better. Stupid camera. I hate futzing around with photos to make them show what I’ve seen.

This is the nicest autumn in the past three years. We really NEEDED it this year. Just having the world be beautiful was such a big deal.

I am SO relieved to NOT have holes in my front and side doors! I know winter will come, but at least it won’t drift through my walls!
It really is glorious right now. Even sitting inside, it’s just GLOWING outside. For another few days. We’ll stop at the dam and get a few more pictures tomorrow then it will slowly all fall down. But at least we had some real autumn! We needed it.

Even I have a bit. My Japanese maple is turning red.

That’s always the last tree here that turns red. When all the rest of the trees are naked, our little Japanese maple turns scarlet.
