Featured in A Beautiful Blur October 25, 2008.
Featured in Falling Leaves October 23, 2008.
Winner of the “October 2008 Favorite Photo Challenge” in the *Autumn/Fall in the North-East USA group October 22, 2008.
This is the same road as shown in “A Golden Day” but taken in late afternoon as opposed to morning, and about a year later, October 12, 2008. This is also a bit earlier in the season than the previous scene, so the trees are much fuller.
I used the Nikon D40x with the 18-135 lens and the polarizing filter. Blue Knob mountain, Pennsylvania.



Home For Dinner belongs to the following groups:
*Amazing Orton Effect* - Limit 3/day , Falling Leaves, Forests, Landscape Photography, Scenery, Shadows & Reflections and Vibrant and Vivid Color Available for sale asGreeting Cards, Matted Prints, Laminated Prints, Mounted Prints, Canvas Prints, Framed Prints and Posters

Beautiful warm and soft colors my kind place I love walking down paths like this during the fall season !
Lois Bryan replied
Thanks so much, Curtiss … I actually took this one on my way home last weekend … I thought I was done with photographing and had put the camera away! But when I saw the light coming through the leaves, I had to stop and get out and start snapping again, lol!!!
LudaNayvelt

Lois Bryan replied
Thank you sweetie!! Slightly different angle, different time of day plus, the one from last year is a little later in the season.
