I’ll admit it: I don’t care much for yellow. The only real exception which crosses my mind is autumn leaves! Well, we had plenty of yellow this year. I also enjoyed a lot of Kawasaki Green leaves as the yellow began to emerge, and that brought me great joy this year…

Here comes another installment of autumn colors, this time with a movie reference as its title. I’m still blown away not by the last week or so of ridiculous wind, but by the sheer number of photos I was able to capture of the fall colors.

I was surprised to discover that this year was my most productive autumn photography season ever. Thanks to a few targeted trips and some fortuitous timing, I have plenty of photos to share. Over the next several days I’ll parcel them out, perhaps with a few words sprinkled in for good measure:

This autumn season was no turkey. I didn’t realize it until I looked through my photos, but this year has been one of my best – if not my overall finest – year for fall photos. I’m delighted by this discovery, and I can’t wait to share. Let’s start with a bunch of photos taken with my phone:

If you’re a computer programmer or an accountant, you understand the title: Last In, First Out. This is probably the last autumn photo I’ll get this year, as the high winds which rolled in Wednesday morning are ripping the leaves off the trees as I type this.
Oddly enough, this year may be my best year for fall photos…ever. At least, so far. I’ve got a ton to post, and I’ll be trickling them out for a bit in the near future, but for now I just wanted to get this one out. It was a surprise I can’t believe I’ve never seen before, and I’m glad I got it…even with a cell phone. Not as good as my actual camera, but still a really nice shot.
Not your typical fall photo, but since there are some golden autumn leaves I’m going to call it such. I was part of a search exercise which took me past this rural airport, and once our target was found I stopped for a couple of minutes to check out a surprise Phantom.

Here we are…another autumn season! I have had a gut feeling for a while that this season will be short and sweet. So far we’ve got the sweet! The colors of the leaves have become spectacular.
I’m incredibly busy – still – so I’m not sure how much I’ll be able to get out with my camera to capture some fall colors before the leave are gone, but I’m going to give it my best shot! I already took an unscheduled day off to bolt to Pembina Gorge with my sweetie, and I hope to post those photos soon. So even if I’m tied up for much of this season, I won’t end up empty-handed!
There’s a photo I’ve wanted to get for years. My subject is the Cave Hills Church, situated at the base of an incredible ridge of rocks, at just the right time and from just the right place.
I’d been here before, and found myself totally enamored of it, but I’d never really caught the photo of it I wanted. I discovered this church after seeing someone else’s photo of it and painstakingly dialing in its location. Once I visited the first time – and it’s a long trip to get back there – I knew what I wanted. But how to get it?

One of my favorite road trip activities is to exclaim, “Hay!” whenever we encounter a bunch of hay. Of course, as a city kid I’m not very astute at distinguishing hay from straw, so I had better be careful if I have a farm kid with me. Thankfully I was safe when I saw this beauty while rolling through Maddock a while back.

I thought I’d start my morning – and my week – with a post taken in the evening. This is the elevator at Arena, ND. I hadn’t been there in a while, despite its proximity to Bismarck-Mandan, but I had a dear friend in town from Florida and we wanted to get out with our cameras. I had a bunch of cool places marked – that house in Robinson I featured earlier, for instance – and this was the last major spot we had planned on the way home. The evening didn’t disappoint: lots of color abounded, and even a really cool set of clouds posed in the background for us!
