We have been enjoying a fabulous fall in the Denver metro area. At the end of the day, I either talk a walk through the neighborhood, or a bike ride along the Platte River. During a walk, I took a different route where a path crosses a ditch. There are several Sumac bushes growing in this area, with bright red leaves.
Close to Halloween, there are many seasonal decorations in front yards. Here are group of smiling lighted pumpkins.
While walking next to Kunming Park, I noticed these pastel colored leaves that had fallen from various different trees. The range of colors in these leaves is absolutely amazing!
On another day, I found some more Sumac.
The late afternoon sun created a spectacular backlight for the red leaves.
That evening, there were some really interesting clouds in the evening sky. We were treated to another spectacular sunset.
Returning from a bike ride, I crossed the Platte River as the sun was setting. I could not resist making this image from the middle of the bridge.
Close to Halloween is the “Day Of The Dead” celebration. So here is a fun image of decorations in the front yard.
We planted several Clematis plants in our backyard. This year they grew to cover much of the fence. Several plants had flowered to create seeds. Last weekend, I spent a couple of hours in the yard making macros images of the wispy seeds.
The flowers create a cluster of seeds. Each seed has a long wispy tail. This helps to disperse seeds when a string wind blows.
Enjoy.
