This morning, I spent a couple of hours in our backyard to capture some fall colors before the leaves drop. Our maple tree has made the transition to fall colors. This year, the fall colors arrived late, so the transition to fall colors was very rapid.
Maple Leaf, Fall Color
I managed to find some leaves that had a touch of green — mainly green spots — as in the following image.
Spotty Maple Leaves
We still have cosmos in flower, so I took the opportunity to make some images before these plants are hit with morning frosts.
Pink Cosmos, Before Fall Ends
Wandering around the cosmos, I found some roses still in flower.

I was fascinated by the red-spots on this rose.

The leaves from the following tree is usually one of the first to drop leaves. Today many of the leaves are still green, but I did find some that were turning. I was intrigued by the yellowing edges of the leaves.
