AutumnColors > arctangent  > Nature > Four Seasons > 2011 - Full Blown Fall
Sights of the season from the time that some trees and shrubs reach their full color development to the melancholy end, when all that glorious color has fallen and blown away. This year, pictures start in late September. It remains to be seen how late into the calendar this gallery ends up going. Not every picture will be of bright fall foliage, but all the pictures will depict things seen only at this time of the year.

For pictures from early through mid-September, when color in the foliage is just beginning to develop in a few trees, and many wildflowers are still blooming, see the 2011 - Leaving Summer Behind... gallery in this same Four Seasons sub-category.

Detail of sassafras leaves beginning to turn.  The low frequency of mitten-shaped leaves seen here seemed to be typical of sassafras trees throughout the Gardens.

Sassafras leaves in fall.

Rendered by applying watercolor to the background, and successively applying accented edges and poster edges to the central leaves.

Sassafras leaves (no, they aren't all mitten-shaped).
One of the little touches I love about this picture is the purplish pink color of the leaf stems...a nice color accent to the greens, yellows, oranges, and reds.

Never been sprayed.
Some older variety of apple tree, now left to do its own thing.  Probably planted decades ago when the land now occupied by the Gardens was farm land.
