About an hour after this shot we had a bit of a bear scare, but I'll save that for another time.

Hi Marty...Can I request some butterflies?LOL...
Beautiful and colorful of nature's fall foliage...A great variety of elements in their natural setting and time present and past of what they are and were at some point..
Excellent capture of old and new in a beautiful collage.. #1313121

This is a real WOW shot Marty, I am sure Valarie liked it. Superb color and the defused lighting made it perfect I think. We will see this one again I am sure of it. #8939176

Gorgeous capture of the beauty of fall, Marty. Great composition, details and colors. Can't wait to hear the bear story. Nothing like a good bear tale. LOL. #8939237

Well, I sure am glad you're one who takes hints easily and gee, I thought I was so subtle!!! :) Mr. Straub - you do this ol' Autumn loving heart so much good just looking at this...you know, we haven't the "proper" trees here in Central TX for a colorful Fall, so eying this menagerie of fall color (Maple leaves!!!!! No maples here!) makes me want to hop in my car and burn rubber all the way up North to MartyLand!! Gorgeous colors, beautiful light and wonderful textures...Ah, I detect a definite hint of autumn in the air....Thank you, my friend! #8939800

Yes- Fall at last! (As for bears, yesterday I had to treat a kid who was hurt bear hunting. I need to go hunting with them, as they see bears and cubs all the time!! But I would go with a camera.) #8939838

Marty- These kind of shots are fun to do because we normally walk right by them. Love the way you eyed this out, saw the potential, and then the beautiful outcome of the picture. I think sometimes we surprise ourselves.
Gorgeous mix of colors, love the details and the full frame of this natural collage. Outstanding my friend
Have a great day. #8940299

Well, now you've got me wondering about the bear, but also enjoying this collage of fall colors and changes. All of a sudden it feels like fall here too. Keeping things crossed that we finally get some color this year, after two years of not much of anything. Nothing yet though. #8944389
