Autumn Foliage
Woodland Confetti
The woods were ablaze with autumn colors. These are the days I enjoy just roaming through the trees and just enjoying the colorful canopy above.

Autumn Blues
I’ve really enjoyed the fall colors this season. One morning I spent time in the woods just photographing leaves on the ground. While I’m looking for amazing colors and interesting patterns, I came across these berries reclining on a burgundy blanket. I’m pretty sure these are not the edible blueberries we love.
The rich contrast between the blue of the berries and the deep red of the maple leaf make this a photo a favorite in my autumn collection.
It looks even cooler in the larger version because you can see tiny moisture beads on the berries. Click on the photo to see what I’m talking about.
Sprig of Pearls
Autumn is wrapping up in our area – as far as colorful foliage goes. These white berries stand out next to the normally green leaves of this plant I found on the edge of a wooded area.
I spent a good deal of time trying to identify this plant. I wasn’t able to find anything I could be confident to share. It seems to be a common plant in our area.

Goodbye Gorgeous
The transition from green to glorious reds, oranges and yellows signals the beginning of the end for these maple leaves. By now, the beauty you see here – photographed a week ago – have become quickly fading forest floor confetti.

Red Velvet
The light behind these red leaves gave them a unique, velvety quality. Thanks you, Autumn, for brightening our lives.

Autumn Upshot
The wild sumac plant provides plenty of color and interesting patterns. It’s one of the first plants to change color – to a bright red – in early autumn.

Wonder Leaf
This is another view of the sumac plant in early fall. This example is in transition. In a short time, all the leaves in this frame will be bright, scarlet red. (As you can see, in the previous post.)

Scarlet Barbs
It’s bright! It’s bold! It’s serrated! It’s red! It’s sumac in the fall! The slender green leaves of the sumac plant turn this bright red color when autumn arrives in N.E. Wisconsin.

Autumn’s Palette
I love the way the color and light were dancing among these leaves of autumn.
This is another shot taken while waiting to pick up my wife at her place of work. The earlier post – Fall Arrangement – was from the same shoot.
This looks even better in the larger version. Click the photo to see for yourself.
Cascading Sumac
One of the first plants to show it’s autumn colors is the sumac. The leaves turn from a deep green to a bright scarlet red.
