Autumn Hues, Part 2

This fall, the weather has been warm and cold, we've had rain and even snow. But, I have been trying to take in as much as possible of the foliage around me. New England is blest with four distinct seasons, but the best ones don't last long. Whenever I can, I try to capture the colors and scenes that capture my eye.

The Hues

The autumn hues feature bright reds, yellows and oranges, as seen below.




Each species of tree and shrub has its own distinctive color. The maples, with their bright oranges, tend to steal the visual show. But the yellows make my favorite backdrop. And even the duller reds have their own beauty.

Building Blocks

Taking a close look, you can notice that the individual leaves are not a single color, but their own little palate mixing several hues.
