Shades of Autumn: Red

I'm linking up again this week with Project Alicia, Bumbles and Light and Live and Love Out Loud for the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge.

Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge

I don't want to jinx it or anything, but we really should be seeing snow any day now. I heard rumours of it in the north end of the city a couple of days ago. We have temps of -7°C (~19°F) in the morning and highs of at most 10°C (~50°F) right now. It's starting to get chilly and the wind is lifting the last of the leaves from the trees. But it's still beautiful and when the snow does fly that will be beautiful too.

Until then, let's pay homage to colour red.







I'll miss you, autumn! You are truly majestic.

    I love the colors of fall and I can't believe people are already getting snow. It's been in the 20s here the last couple of days and it's killed my garden.

    Jessica, my garden is done too. The last of the vegetables were harvested a couple of weeks ago. Sigh - months of lousy, expensive produce ahead of me.

    A beautiful series of fall color!
    I think winter is coming early. There was eight inches on the second highest spot in WV the first weekend in October.
    Keep warm.

    Eep! Snow already... I love the shades of Autumn and I really do love the beauty of snow on the first day but then the cold... Yikes!

    Thank-you, Dawn!

    Thanks Carletta. It's looking like we might make it all the way to November without really seeing snow> I can't remember the last time that happened.

    Thanks Amanda! :)

    G, it can be very beautiful, and peaceful too. All the world becomes serenely quiet under a thick blanket of snow.

    Thank-you, Swanksi. I'll enjoy it when it arrives here, but I'm in no hurry. :)

    Daenel, I'm with you there. I'm not a fan of being always a little cold, even when inside a heated space, snd driving can be treacherous in a snowy foothills town. Will just have to look on the bright side and have my camera ready!

    Those are some truly beautiful photos!! I love fall and all the colors of it. I'm not ready for snow, but it never waits for me to be ready. When it comes, I will think it's beautiful, too.

    Christina, Ma Nature has her own agenda, for sure. Guess it's up to us to try to see the silver lining. :)

    Very nice! (I'm going to ignore the part about snow...)

    Thanks Leighann! It's just about *that* time, isn't it?

    Robin, that's probably wise. You and I will have plenty of time to complain to each other about the weather soon enough!

    You captured the beauty of autumn in every one of these photos. My favorite is the one you entered for the Shades of Autumn challenge. I love the lighting in it. We live in the northeast and we are in for some early snow today - 6-10 inches. eeek, not ready for that. i was hoping to enjoy the fall colors for a bit longer.

    Thanks so much, Tish! I'm bracing myself for the cold white stuff here too! But 6-10 inches?!?! Eeek is right!

    Gotmycamera, thanks! I'm holding onto the warmth of these photos! Soon I'll be holding onto a hot cup of tea everywhere I go.

    Thanks Teresa. I'm not ready yet either, but I don't know if I ever could be.

    Thanks Jen! I love the reds too. Harder to find here than back home - I miss Maple trees!

    Thanks Melissa! I learned a new term today: "bokeh". :)
