Seeing Red this Fall

Razmataz is having a red photo challenge (you can read about it here) and fall leaves seemed the perfect thing to showcase. 

I was driving to one of my schools yesterday and was absolutely thrilled to see this row of brilliant red trees.  So thrilled in fact, that I had to turn the car around and snap a few photos.  Red fall leaves are my favourite (aren't they everyone's???), so to find a row of such beauties was amazing.  These trees are going to look stunning when they are mature.  I think the red was even more brilliant in contrast to the deep blue of the sky.


 


I also saw red leaves at the cottage over Thanksgiving weekend.  It is interesting, though, how the reds up at the cottage are more of an orangey-red.  Still gorgeous, mind you.
 


 


The maples sure outdo themselves at this time of year - it's quite a show!

  4. You're right. Red leaves are the best. I planted myself a burning bush this spring, but it's taking a long time to really get its color this fall.

  7. Again, no fair that you guys have natural reds ...the only naturally occurring red I could find here in la la land is a ladybug and we buy ours here at the nursery....sigh

    We do have a sort of red light district. Would that count?

    Lovely photos. : D

    It's summer, true we probable have one week of spring.
