The forecast looked dreary - the next 4-5 days would bring clouds laden with rain and gusty winds. And autumn colours don't wait for the perfect weather forecast. Not only would the light be dreary, the wind would hasten the undressing of the trees.
I've learned through the years that in photography 'carpe diem' is a motto to live by. So, equipment in car and off on a road trip to see what effect autumn had had on areas I'd made mental notes to re-visit when I saw them in summer. I wasn't disappointed - here's a small sample of the hundred and some-odd scenes I captured.

Beautiful captures Rick! I think the colours this year have been amazing, at least here in NB. Looks the same there too. The wind is blowing the leaves off here today. I'm sad to see them go until spring though.

Very nice Rick. All our autumn colour is down now and I did not "carpe the diem "and took zero autumn pics this year.
Hoi Rick,
echt een heerlijk en heel sfeervol blog met deze mooie herfstkleuren.
Dit is ook echt genieten. De warme tinten van de herfst laat je hier heel mooi uitkomen.
Groetjes, Helma
