Last weekend, I found a bit of time on both Saturday and Sunday to wander the neighborhood and photograph the last of the foliage. The bright reds of the swamp maples are long gone. However the forest canopies (of mostly oak, birch and beech, with a few maples) were still a mix of browns and yellows. The understory (a mix of many species) was just about at its yellowy peak.
As I write, the show is pretty much over for the year. The oaks and the beeches will hang on to their brown leaves much of the winter. But for the next few weeks… until we get some snow… the landscape will be drab and grey. Here is hoping for an early snow!

Pano is very well done. You managed to find the fleeting color. Those little pockets of red/orange are well sprinkled throughout the hillside.
As for the others, #3 has great depth of field from the foreground through to the back hills. The golden grasses are an interesting lead-in to the hills.
