Fall is by far my favourite time of year, I grew up in new england, so never planned a trip around the leaves, as we were there, and also dealing with all the "leaf gazers", I am in the Bay area now, we have a few changing trees, mostly reds and oranges.
I always think of the red to yellow palette in the fall, and have been trying to make friends with the orange-factor. I am a cool colour lover, working on my relationship to the warmer colours I love "autumn" colors, but I have actually never seen the leaves change, being from Florida where it's eternally green or dried up from drought.
Maybe this year though! I love the changing leaves. There are numerous fall and harvest festivals where I live. These are the colours of autumn where I stay, I love that I've a park just a street away, it means I get to see the autumn spectacular every day of the season. I can also take my daughter to the park and indulge in lots of Interesting post and lovely palettes to accompany it.
Autumn is by far my favorite season. Autumn is my most favorite time of year, hands down.
It brings coolness and color, definitely! Autumn is easily my favourite season, even more than Spring. Although I love the colours of the latter, there's no way I can ignore the beautifully warm tones that seem to overpower everything around this time of year. I need to make more of these, I know. Posted Sep 24, For me, it isn't Autumn until those leaves start burning. When people start raking up big piles of wet leaves and after going through a whole box of matches, finally get the whole thing to go up in flames. The smell of that smoke and the way it settles into low areas in the cool air and mixes with the fog, that's Autumn to me.
That, and the quiet left behind when the cicadas finish singing for the Summer. I don't really like Autumn.
I'm a Spring person, myself. This will probably be the last autumn for my beloved maple. Autumn is definitely my favourite season, and I've always thought that it's because I was born in the middle of it, it's kind of like my comfort zone of seasons.
I don't think it's just because I usually get presents in Autumn! But here in Australia we don't get as many beautiful colours happpening since most of our native trees are not deciduous.
I have to go to a botanic garden or peer over my nieghbours fence to get the full colour spectrum! Autumn is my favorite season. This palette is inspired by a tree outside my window that is turning from a deep summery green to yellow and then to purple on its outer branches. The sugars produced by photosynthesis are transported around the tree and stored in the leaves. Plants need sunlight and warmth to produce chlorophyll, which is also destroyed by bright sunlight.
In summer, it is continuously created to keep the leaves green. If a plant is kept away from sunlight, it yellows: In winter, with less sunlight, chlorophyll is not produced. But the crucial chemical pigment behind leaves turning yellow is carotene — the main pigment in carrots, which is also found in leaf cells in the growing season.
This is a yellow pigment but it isn't visible until the production of chlorophyll slows in autumn. As the green fades, the yellow carotene remains.
Low temperatures also destroy chlorophyll so cold nights quicken the yellowing of leaves. Got to see some amazing photographs simon, thanks for sharing. Loved the piece thoroughly as me, too, is especially fond of Autumn and Fall. Absolutely stunning pics my dear Simon!! More Autumn please … I miss it so much now that I live in Florida.
My garden is still green and I am desperate to get some good shots of autumn! I like winter, summer, and fall equally.
They each have their perks. I like fall best for backpacking though. No bugs, cool temps, and beautiful leaves make for great hiking. Especially autumn, which is my favourite too! The colours, the crisp air… Aaaaahhh! Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Time limit is exhausted. This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.

So what produces an autumn to remember?
