A firth of fifth of fall colors

I know we’re reaching that dreary point where so many leaves have fallen, turned brown, or both, but hopefully these photo posts can prolong the autumn beauty for a little while until the snow arrives. It isn’t the dread of bleaker scenes which caused me to use the Genesis song title for the title of this post, though. I just needed a Fifth reference, and there isn’t any water in this post to make Firth relevant.

I’ve never been a fan of Spring because everything’s still so barren and brown, even when the nice, warm temperatures arrive. Fall is where it’s at, even when it begins to get really cold overnight.

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.

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!
