There is nothing more spectacular in the fall than the change of leaf colors throughout the woodlands of North America. The photos shown here are all taken from rural roads nearby my home. I try to set aside some extra time when I can make a deliberate effort to get some pictures. It is difficult when the weather is all cloudy and windy with little sunlight. The sun is so important in bringing out the best natural colors. I like to take photos with the sun off to the south from the subject landscape as much as possible. It does not have to be a blinding, bright sun, but at least enough to bring out the best colors. I also like as much blue sky as possible in the background. In the picture at left more sunlight would have improved the overall quality of colors while the one at right has enough sun on the leaves to give them a 'shiny' effect. The one at left contains, oaks, maples, willows, sassafras and a couple of sycamores. The one at right is unidentified.
