Cooler air is here, and nighttime temperatures are dropping. While there are still flowers in some gardens and most of the trees here are still predominantly green, there is a brownish tone showing among green leaves as well as some outright pops of color.
Do you have colors of the season to share here?
I was driving down a narrow road when a splash of red caught my eye. While the trees here continue to show as mostly shades of green that wasn't true of this patch of trees just off the road!
The road had no shoulder but it also had no traffic so I just stopped for a minute to grab a quick phone photo.
...a different sort of autumn color—the end of the salmon run on the Strawberry River yesterday...
I love that you captured both the yellow leaves and the red of the salmon!
not a great pic, but it was a lovely outing 🙂
Any color is good!
The flowers in the 2nd photo are exquisite.
I've been catching butterflies up until this week - funny, I don't think of butterflies and autumn, but I see more in September and early October than all summer long in my back yard.

Painted lady and a monarch
And a lone monarch. I actually was photographing three monarchs in a single frame, but could never get the composition I really wanted, so I binned most of them
