Very nice Jen. I like the inclusion of the water with it's faint brush of mirror imaging. It may take a few more days for Fall to really happen in some places but it is arriving as it always has.
I envy your ability to travel to some of the most beautiful spots. I used to live in Phoenix, so I'm pretty sure you didn't ride around the block to get this shot, although there are some very stunning parks around the area. This is such a rich yet vibrant red in its fall splendor, and as usual you've done it justice and presented us with another of the vistas that fall has to offer. No need to mention that your clarity is perfect and the composition is beautiful... :)PJ
I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't and die to find out there is.

As well it should have pleased you--it's most pleasing indeed! Seems like the hunt was successful :) A very nice composition with super colors--great work :)
Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in the joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand.
