    GORGEOUS! LOVE all this bright color—-it is SOOOOO Autumn! Wonderful capture Rachel!

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks, Ruth! Finally got some new autumn shots. Going out again tomorrow in search of more.

    Oh my goodness!!!! What fabulous color in this beauty!!!!!! Lush and rich!!!! Gorgeous!!!

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thank you, Lois! Early this evening, I tried to go to a different park than this one that has many more trees, but because I am directionally challenged, I drove around in a circle for an hour and had to settle for a neighborhood park because the sun was going down. And the park I was looking for was even a park I’ve been to many times! LOL! I was so mad initially but felt better when I was able to locate a few colorful trees! I need a GPS!

    Absolutely gorgeous!! warm lovely colours!! :D

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks, Evita! I was happy with the colors since this is straight from the camera. I’d been a little disappointed with the color saturation from a lot of my Canon XSi photos so I upped the level in the camera and like this much better since this looks just like I saw it.

    Well, I guess we have the same thought process! Love fall… did you see the shot from my balcony” Good Morning World”???

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks for stopping by, Larry! I just checked out your photo and it is lovely! I see you have a lot of pretty fall shots!

    Thanks so much, Wendy! Hey, I just noticed you are in Northamptonshire! I was born there. My mom is from Wellingborough. Wish I was visiting England again soon.

    Stephanie Rach...

    I don’t think orange has ever looked so good!

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks, Stephanie Rachel! Nice second name, LOL. There seem to be quite a few of us on here. But then again it is a fairly common name now. When I was a kid, I didn’t know any other girls with that name. It was my paternal grandmother’s first name.

  • Stephanie Rachel Seely

    Stephanie Rach...

    lol, I was the only Stephanie I knew for years. I like my second name too. Sometimes I wish it was my first name.

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Actually I should have said you have two pretty names! :~D

    Beautiful Maple leaves, gets you in the mood for the change of seasons!

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks, dolphindancer! Too bad we can’t freeze the peak colors for a few weeks so we can enjoy them longer!

    Fabulous Autumn colours

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks so much, Lyn! I don’t like what this means – winter is coming, but I am certainly enjoying the wonderful colors right now!

  • SandyK

    SandyK

    This is fantastic color, looks like you and your new camera are doing beautifully!

  • Rachel Stickney replied

    Thanks, Sandy! I’m starting to get the hang of it, finally. Still a lot of shots that don’t come out as I’d like. Probably because I don’t use my tripod enough, they are such a pain. I know I need to though.

    Fantastic autumnal shades – and so clean I can hear the leaves crisp-ing (not a word, but you know what I mean). Beautiful colours.
