~ Forest Ablaze II ~
Realizing that many of the area trees were nearing their peak of Fall color, we decided to spend this past Saturday traveling the northern Minnesota countryside in search of Nature's most spectacular colors. Here and there we found reds and some golds...but late Sunday afternoon, as our family was preparing our Faire site for winter, we discovered a small hillside ablaze with an amazing display of orange, peach, yellows, gold, and reds. The beautiful deep blue sky that peeked between the stunning leaves of maple, birch, and aspen allowed rays of golden sunshine to set the hillside on fire with color. This hillside was beautiful, bright, and truly glowing!

you have captured Autumns divine beauty! the colors come and go so fast, so lovely that you got out to enjoy and capture.
ReplyDeleteOh Wow! I am soooo jealous!!!! We had such a dry hot summer that the leaves are just dying and falling off the trees. Usually our colors turn in November, but I fear there will be no fall color this year.
