Green Spiral
This is part of the mixing of architecture and gardening at the McGovern Centennial Gardens in the museum district in Houston.
Floating
These neon leaves fade quickly after falling, but offer a bright fringe to the water near shore.
Jeweled Leaf
The recent rain decorated many of the fallen leaves on this afternoon.
Deep Forest
The dreamy feeling of this forest catches my imagination every time I drive through it, and this black and white photo captures the feeling perfectly.
Backlight Blaze
The drama of fall colors can be appreciated even on a very small scale. The back lighting from the sun brings out the saturated colors without any need for editing.
New Growth
New spring leaves are always an amazing shade of green, and it makes for one of my favorite weeks out of the year, as the whole landscape rapidly changes.

This is along the Superior Hiking Trail off of Skyline Parkway west of Spirit Mountain. It isn't a super easy trail, but not a hard trail either, and it affords wonderful views of the St. Lewis River, and the Duluth Superior area. This particular day it was warm, and some of the fall colors were left, though most of the leaves had fallen. This was in a small Creek that ran under the trail, with some leaves that had freshly fallen.
