NW Fall Colors

12 images Created 16 Jan 2013

Fall is the time of dramatic colors and contrasts as Mother Nature shifts from the soft greens of summer to winter. The yellows and reds in the Pacific Northwest stand out against the broader landscape. This art portfolio captures designs from single leaves to broadly colorful settings. The colors form as the chlorophyll, which gives the green color, gradually begins to break down. Berries are also colorful at this time and create an interesting contrast with the surroundings.

  • The rain and fog formed numerous water droplets on the fruit and leaves of this mountain ash.  The subtle and rich colors in the soft light made the plant standout against the fog in the background.

  • The sun made these maple leaves standout brilliantly against the dark shade of the background. The striking colors of this maple in the early morning light made me stop for a while as I hiked toward Merritt Lake

  • The texture and softness of the morning light as it came through the maple leaves left me with sense of wonder on how something as delicate as a leaf can capture sun light and turn it into food for the tree.

  • Aspens adjacent to an overgrown field provide a warm and lively feeling to an autumn day.  I can just stand here enjoying the russell of the leaves in the wind.  Several hawks soared overhead as we enjoyed the moment.

  • The fine detail of the veins through the yellow leaves and the pattern created by this set of leaves is intriguing to study.

  • The gray trunks formed a partial frame for this colorful maple even though the maple spills out on either side of the frame.  The soft light formed by the constant rain created a very peaceful setting.

  • Finding most of the leaves of this Big Leaf Maple on the ground indicates that fall is about over.  The shape of the leaf is marvelous to examine closely.

  • The fog drifted across the water on Green Lake creating a tranquill atmosphere to the early morning.  The reflections were partially visible through the mist.  It was fun to sit a while and watch the mist gradually drift away.

  • The red leaves against the yellow and green background really jumped out at me as I walked by.  I had to see if I could capture the wonder of these leaves in the still morning air.

  • The willows and sky reflected brillantly in the still waters of Green Lake.  A few light ripples created some texture to the reflection.

  • I almost stepped on this leaf as I was walking up from the water's edge.  The frost across the leaf creates an interesting design and  indicates that fall is about over

  • The morning sun shown through the maple leaves gving them a distinctive glow.  I focused in on a single leaf to see if I could capture the translucent pattern.  It was late in the season and not many leaves were left on tress so I felt fortunate to find this brillant one shinning brillantly.
