Mosiac Monday- Colors of Autumn



The colorful leaves in autumn thrill me just about as much as any spring flower, well... that might be a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's close. The colors are magnificent and often stop me in my tracks, especially during the "golden hour".

Photographers refer to the last hour before the sun sets, as the "golden hour". During this time the lighting is almost perfect and casts a beautiful golden glow. It is a wonderful time to photograph the rich, vibrant autumn colors.

Oh, did you notice the sweet little heart shaped leaf on the Kousa dogwood? I didn't even notice it until I was editing the pictures on the computer.

I'm linking today to the Little Red House for Mosaic Monday.

  5. Wow such wonderful colors of autumn. We are still going through late summer phase. Mosaics are looking great too. I agree "Golden hour" these days is ideal for taking pics.

  6. You have captured the golden light just right Robin. I wish you could take a picture of the tree across the street from my house for me. It is the most beautiful tree around here and I can't seem to get it into my camera. Sigh~~

  10. Beautiful colors, Robin! The little heart-shaped dogwood leaf is just perfect. It seems in the past week all the trees have suddenly begun to turn; I was worried for awhile the winds and cold would blow the leaves off before they even had a chance to show off their colors.

  14. I do know what you mean about opening up a photo and seeing a surprise waiting on you and that heart is special. Course I love your mosiacs as they are not so easy to do. Some folks think you can put just anything together but that's just not so is it?

  15. Such pretty fall colors! Every season has its magical beauty. And as every one rolls around, I seem to find it more beautiful than the one before it.

  20. My neighbor was born in Indiana and always talks about Fall being her favorite time of year because of all the color...Your pictures are amazing! I wish we were experiencing some of that same color:)
    Thanks for stopping by for a visit!

  21. It is true that pictures show us more than we can see ourselves. That is why I love to go through my files and look at the photographs again and again. Your mosaic shows autumn colors and textures beautifully Robin.
