Post Your Best Autumn Photos!

Beautiful Andy!

Andy, Wonderful shots, glad to see the wind didn't blow all of the leaves off before you had a chance to capture them. The waterfalls are spectacular.

I also saw some deer that were not interested in me at all. I approached within 50 ft and they just laid there in the shade. One thing I did see in surprising numbers were the Northern Harriers---I bet I saw at least 10 different birds, or the same bird in 10 different locations.

Here is a shot of one of the resting deer. It was midday so the deer were in the shade and not planning on moving. Unfortunately, no bucks.

Nice deer image.

Good to hear there are raptors about! Those Harriers make it tough to get a good image, their flight pattern seems so erratic.

Are they opening up that new area this time?

Andy - Those are beautiful shots. You live in a beautiful area, and as Bob said... those waterfalls are spectacular.

Andy...another great series...Love #3....

I have probably already posted to many in this thread, but I do like shooting during autumn. So here are couple more from yesterday (shot from a kayak)

Andy, I really like "Autumn Reflections". And not just because you called it Autumn ;)

Although, where was the sun during the shot? I can't help but think the colours are lacking the punch of the shot above it.

Nothing says Autumn to me like some fungi... I might have to go on a mushroom hunting mission soon...

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Ham, the sun was partly obscured by cloud around the hills to my left when I took the "reflections" shot, so the lighting is more diffuse than I would have liked.

Pat, I wish I lived in an area like this, but these shots are all 3-4 hours from home.

Amicalola falls. My only worthwhile fall colors photo for this season. Plus I had to post waterfall shots in as many threads as possible:p
