Fall Colours - Orange!

The colour of the year is orange, often just a pale yellowy-orange.  Not many reds in the leaves at all (except for those Sumach and Burning Bush).  But there have been lots of orange leaves, subdued compared to most years, but pretty never-the-less.

Lots of nice yellowy-orange leaves.

Most of these shot around our old house over the last few days.

In places I think you can say the leaves are actually orange.

And the leaves outside our new back window are definitely orange, perhaps even a tinge of red.

And the weather has changed dramatically, though it's still typical for fall.  Cold, windy and rainy with the grey clouds scudding across the sky.  I think we've seen the last of that nice warm weather.

  3. Your last photo definitely has that darker redish orange. Hope the unpacking has almost finished, and things in their places.

  5. Beautiful! I think orange leaves are my favorite color. We see mainly yellow aspen leaves although some turn orange too. People are also planting more maple trees and other bright red autumn leafed trees, so pretty soon we will see more variety.

  6. More like an English autumn than the technicolor extravaganza you get some years.

  17. Pretty pretty pretty - and pretty. Your colors are looking a lot like ours this year here over on the Pacific Northwest coast. I love how the bright colors make it look like sunshine on even a cloudy day. Happy weekend.
