Last of the Fall Colors 2017

5 November 2017 / 3 Comments / Nature, Ozarks, Photography / By

I spent a little time down the road today trying to capture the last of the fall colors for the year. The wind has been gusting pretty hard and many of the leaves have fallen.

It seems that every year, just as the colors reach the height of their glory, the winds come and strip it all away. Like the frost flowers, peak color is ephemeral. Gotta catch it when opportunity strikes because in twenty-four hours, it could all be gone.

Not many words to this post today, just some nature beauty for you to enjoy 🙂

Well, no, there's Felkins Creek again on the side of the road heading out.

Can't hardly see it, but there it is again on the way back in.

    What a beautiful place you live in, Madison! You are indeed blessed. Thanks for letting me share a bit of the autumn beauty. The colors are changing here, now and hopefully it will be sunny tomorrow so I can capture some of it before everything changes.

      Thanks, Janet – I agree! I hope you get to capture your color before it goes to bare. Ours lasted a good while this year, but it seems to disappear quickly once it peaks.
