Fall Photo Shoot

Today was a perfect day for a fall photo shoot.

These flowers are no longer blooming as  the frost took them away last week, and the snow came far down the mountainside. 

But the snow receeded, and it was a beautiful fall day today.  Some of the leaves have already blown off the trees,

but the ones that are hanging on

add amazing bits 
of beauty.

The grass 
 
and the leaves of the Fireweed

are showing off with their finest colours.
 
And yet I know with a few more big winds, the leaves will dance away,

and the snow will change this landscape

from the beauty of a fall day, and cover it with the beauty of winter.
 
(All photos were taken within 100 steps of my house)

  4. Aren’t you lucky to have such beauty 100 steps away! It ALMOST makes up for the distance you have to drive to go grocery shopping! (and all that snow!) Makes for beautiful pictures though. ;)

  5. Originally I am from the western USA, living at a high altitude, the Rockies surrounding us....your photos brought back such beautiful memories. But outside our door, it was not nearly so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you for sharing your photos of your homeland. Simply wonderful.

  9. The greatest advantage of photographs or images is that people across the globe can clearly understand them irrespective of their linguistic or ethnic backgrounds. Every one understands the significance of the images in much better manner than words. clipping path service provider

  10. Wedding photographers are storytellers and this is where their final vision and style can be really seen. In your initial meeting with wedding photographers you saw their album style and hopefully choose someone whose design elements you liked and whose overall feel of the wedding day story through the albums you related too. wedding photographer
