Great post. You're leading us into fall with a humdinger. I think your state is somewhat ahead of ours. It will be interesting to watch the fall shots come in from the different states and countries. The tree reminds me of someone feeling the cold and starts putting on an orange sweater.

Yes, the blue sky is a perfect backdrop for this big old orange and green leaved tree standing there all by itself. The tree line in the back is interesting as well. Excellent take.

It's absolutly awe-some! The autmun colored leaves, the blue sky, the clouds, the whole tree... All the colors are perfect.

You can notice the orange (leaves) part framed between the blue (sky) and the green (leaves): It underlines the autumn subject big time (the end of summer).

It's like a giant broom in flame with some smoke on top.

Do the leaves peak in mid-October in your area? It seems like the trees around here are getting ready for Fall. Lovely image. Take another shot when it's at its peak. Thanks for the early view.
