Saturday Snapshot is hosted by West Metro Mommy Reads.
It was frigid here this week, as it was in most parts of the country, but I did manage to bundle up and take a walk around the neighborhood yesterday. Here are some pics of the last gasping breaths of fall - I hate to see it go! All that gorgeous color is just about gone now, though there are still beautiful sights outdoors:
 |
| Last leaves clinging to the maple tree that was bright red last week! |
 |
| A few leaves still hanging on |
 |
| My shadow among the fallen leaves (I'm wearing a parka, hence the weird shape!) |
 |
| Bright red maple leaf among the grass |
 |
| Bare branches against a blue sky |
 |
| A few red leaves left on bare branches in our yard |
Hope you are enjoying a wonderful weekend!
I'm sure you'll miss that colour- and I presume it will only get colder for you. That maple leaf photo is particularly special.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! The colours really shine out in these photos. Fall is nice but it is a sad reminder that Jack Frost is on his way :(
ReplyDeleteLike the leave pics! We had a cold snap in Minnesota as well and a snow storm while I was in Florida. I am home now and I think it is supposed to read 30 degrees this weekend. I just want to stay in :)
ReplyDeleteOur woods are covered with snow now. Glad to see there's still some colours in your area, despite the bare branches. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely red leaves. It is a shame to see the last of this beautiful season.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, including the one of the bare branches against the blue sky. The picture of the red maple leaf in the grass shows that you pay attention to details of the beauty around you. I love that close-up.
ReplyDeleteMaples are beautiful aren't they?
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your cool autumn pics as it hits 30°C at 11am here in Sydney today!
What a great tribute to the last days of fall...my favorite season! Love the one red leaf on the ground. Thanks for sharing...and for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos - the red leaf is gorgeous. Autumn here as well - I've been photographing mushroomy things. Posted late this week - computer problems. http://chriscross53.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/mushroomy-things.html
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. I especially love the closeup of the red maple leaf.
