| Autumn, to me, is the most glorious season, and it can surprise with a snowfall. I was blessed to be in the West Virginia mountains during a fairly heavy autumn snow; in fact, it was the second heaviest recorded October snowfall in 60 years! Most of those photos ended up looking much more like winter than autumn, so some of them found their way onto my Winter Scenes page. The West Virginia mountains are more colorful than might be expected that far south; the native sugar and red maples show reds and oranges, while the black and striped maples turn brilliant yellow, as do the tulip poplars. Having such a variety of trees, which change color at slightly different times, prolongs the season a bit, giving photographers an opportunity to capture different scenes. Only two of the photos in this group were taken outside of West Virginia : "Essence of the Rockies" and "Aspens" were shot in the Canadian Rockies. Enjoy the autumn views! |
