Oh, sweetie … yes they are vivid and vibrant but I envy the autumn images YOU’RE posting!!!!! I went through my library last night to see if I had ANYTHING I could work up that might give your images a run for their money, but nothing with that amazing subtle, rich color of yours!! This very bright thing, though, did ask me to come play with it … so I did!! LOL!!! Thank you!! Hugglez

rodsfotos
You may not have the same kind of historic architecture to hand as we enjoy over this side of the giant pond Lois but your Autumn colours can’t be bettered anywhere, this one is an absolute beauty, Autumn at it’s most beautiful, very well captured,
Regards, Rod.
Lois Bryan replied
Thanks so much, Rod!! This one is from last year and was one of the first I took with the then-new Nikon. The colors last year were incredible … and each time we were up on the mountain the weather was perfection. This year … not so much!! I actually still have MORE in the computer here from last year!! LOL!!! I love fall / autumn, too!!!!
Marjorie Wallace

Lois Bryan replied
LOL!!! Sounds good, Christine!!!! I took this near our ski cabin in Pennsylvania … the fall colors are absolutely famous in that neck of the woods … people drive up from all over … they’re called leaf peepers … and if you catch the day right, it’s soooooo worth it!!!!
