Peak of our Fall Color

The week of Thanksgiving brought the peak of our fall colors to north Texas and I have been out almost every day chasing it. Luckily, I have been able to capture some of the best color in both sunny, cloudy, windy, and still weather.

Here are some red oak leaves from a day in a local park that drew my eye.

I have put several more images on my blog showing some of my favorite scenes of the vivid reds and oranges we have had this year.

Here is another. Note both suffer from bad jpeg compression....

This one taken within the loop and city limits. Being able to find a scene like this close to home is pretty cool to me.

Very nice! I love both of them. Great colors and detail.

Darren all are really nice, but the first one in your blog is spectacular.

Thanks!!

Best time of the year for photography.

Wow, that's some really great color, Darren! I think I like the second one best, but both are spectacular. I particularly like the left half of the second one, especially the sidelit grasses.

Darren, you should turn that first image into a jigsaw puzzle! Nice job.
