Sometimes you experience memorable moments by following fall close to home. I’ve made a special effort to capture glimpses of the season in photographs this year near my home in Bend. Fall is my favorite season!
Autumn weather brings cloudy skies and spectacular sunrises that take your breath away.
Trees don their finest fashions and marvel at their reflections.
Some trees try to see how many shades of autumn they can pack onto one branch.
And when the leaves fall, they dazzle you like an ephemeral work of art.
If you listen closely, you’ll hear the leafless trees revealing stories layer by layer until they are clothed once again.

Gorgeous photos of the season, Siobhan. I especially love the colors of the leaves on the ground, and wish I had come up with "If you listen closely, you’ll hear the leafless trees revealing stories layer by layer until they are clothed once again." Beautiful.
Thanks, Lindy! Glad you liked my line about the paper birch. :D

Why would anyone ever leave such beauty Siobhan! Loved your birch especially, and the carpet of autumn leaves.
Thanks, Tina! I love how the birch bark peels on their trunks.
