Yay for me! It had been awhile.
Shall we do a pool to guess how many photos I shot?
$5.00 a pop -- winner takes all.
No? Okay.
200+ in all.
It was fantastical.
Red. Orange. Yellow. Gold. Burnt Umber.
The color palette was awesome.

Having to choose one photo, the above image won out.
But, I will be posting more in the coming days.
Oh yes, I will be posting more.

ReplyDeleteWOW, very pretty! You are way ahead of us here!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. 81 and only 200 are you slowing down?
ReplyDeleteOur leaves are no changing so fast here on the farm that is unusual but I guess they think it is spring now that the rains have come and they are probably going to hold out till winter just because they are happy. They do not want to change their coats just yet.
Canada with no red maples will be sort of strange but I must say so was the summer:) B
Beautiful Nancy! What a fun 200 acre walk that must have been. I look forward to seeing more beauty from your walk!
ReplyDeleteThe colors in Michigan are perfect (in my book) right now. Hubby and I took a country road color tour in the car yesterday and I took many photos with my new camera. Great time of the year to initiate me to "the new!" I will try and link up to Sunday best with a photo very soon.
Would LOVE to walk there, Nancy. Gorgeous color!
ReplyDeleteDon't ya just love those colors, it is not unusual for me to take 200 + photos on any given walk. I seem to always take multiple shots of the same thing, thank goodness for digital.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to join you, if not for the long walk between here and there.
ReplyDeleteYou are my sunshine ~ my only sunshine ~! Very beautiful picture. I like how the sun is shining through the trees..This year the trees are in full color...
ReplyDeleteta ta for now from Iowa:)
Lovely Autumn colors and beautiful photos.Have a wonderful weekend!
ReplyDeleteyou have fall color, i adore autumn hues!!
ReplyDelete200+ = what, was it 200 or 299!!
First off, I LOVE the header, Nancy! I know what you mean about the fall colours.....what to 'take' first!?
ReplyDeleteYour choice is stunning.
This is definitely the time of year that I get SO jealous of not living up north anymore. Be sure to show more photos of your field trip...
ReplyDeleteLaurie @ Pride in Photos
Love the way the sun in gleaming through the leaves.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful colour! Our leaves haven't begun changing yet....dagnabbit!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Nancy. As much as I love living in the desert, I do miss seeing the fall colors.
ReplyDeleteThat really is a gorgeous shot - good choice!
ReplyDeleteWonderful colors! And, I had a post to submit this week since we are back home. :) Love your blog.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Lois
Great pic, very lovely to look at! Everything is still green here with just the tops of a few trees turning red. Our fall doesn't peak until mid-October. Enjoying your fall photos though...mine will be coming along later! Have a great weekend!

oh, lucky you!! thanks for sharing it with those of us who live in a rather brown world. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so enjoying the autumnal color palettes. Not around here of course, but on blogs like yours. This is really spectacular and I look forward to seeing the other 199+! HA!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! Looking forward to seeing the other 200 photos. It's easy for me to take that many in a day.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful photo Nancy. Sounds like you and the kids had a fun hike! I'm surprised you have so much colour there already. We're just starting here. Next weekend should be spectacular.
ReplyDeletei have enjoyed the color also, I am shocked how many I have shot.I like the actual moment always better than the pic, but have landed some good ones.
ReplyDeleteSounds and looks just wonderful! Have a couple of trips planned in October. Hope for some good shots :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend, Nancy!
Oh Nancy this is a stunning shot - I love that sun shining through the leaves.
ReplyDeleteThat must have been a wonderful walk. Isn't Autumn a wonderful season :)
Gorgeous shot, Nancy. (Glad I didn't take that bet. I'd have guessed much higher.)
ReplyDeleteI love fall. Beautifully taken here.

ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! The light and leaves create an effect almost like looking through a lace curtain.
ReplyDeleteI also recently went on a awesome nature walk and took almost 300 pictures! I used my whole camera battery ;)
ReplyDeleteIt's nice autumn has come in your area.
ReplyDeleteThe tinted autumnal leaves are very beautiful.
Wishing you a wonderful Sunday.

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy! Your linky on my blog isn't working but I wanted to stop by and say thanks for linking up. Your self-portrait is lovely :)
ReplyDeleteI was at a small college football game....and it was 81 degrees! Someday soon, I'll go back to that campus with my camera, but today I was just photographing the punter, whose father is an old college friend. Beautiful "autumn overload," Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI love the colors and how crisp this shot looks.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on autumn hues up there in our neck of the woods, Nancy! See a few splashes of Indian Yellow around that Burnt Umber too. Returning home to that Heartland color soon.
