Autumn Leaves!!

It's Autumn in our hemisphere of the planet and if you are lucky enough to live in a region where the leaves change colors, it is quite possible that you are enjoying a spectacular explosion of color all around you right now. If your area has not received the right mix of rain, temperature and humidity your leaves will not look good at all. You will see pasty browns and dull yellows before the leaves finally fall to the ground.

Last year in Maine, our colors were yucky, but this year, we are fortunate! I took my camera out over the past week and captured some wonderful shots for you to enjoy. One of the places I stopped was a churchyard in Belgrade Lakes. I was told they had over 1400 pumpkins of all size ranges and was very surprised to hear that the pumpkins were grown by Navajo Indians in New Mexico and shipped to Maine for our Halloween pleasure. They do this every year!! Go figure!! And good for our Native American brothers and sisters for reaching out and becoming involved in creating income for their people!

I wanted to capture photos from more areas, but the leaves reached their 'peak color' in the past few days and already have either dropped to the ground or are a terribly dull brownish hue.

So please enjoy the slide show! It is a bit 'long' but I think you will enjoy it!
