Ruth Lambert
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.
Lois Bryan
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!
Evita
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.
Larry Llewellyn
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!

Oops, forgot to hit the reply to your message, instead I just did a new comment, argh! See above.
Rachel Stickney
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.

Hi Rachel
I live not too far from wellingborough….if you visit your mum let me know
we could go take pics…lol
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
kathy s gillen...

Rachel Stickney replied
Thanks, Colin! The colors are reallly starting to pop around here!
Diane Schuster
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!
LYN EVANS
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
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.

taiche
Fantastic autumnal shades – and so clean I can hear the leaves crisp-ing (not a word, but you know what I mean). Beautiful colours.
Rachel Stickney replied
Thaks, taiche! I like your new word “crisp-ing”, LOL! I appreciate your visit and comments!
