Yep, this was taken in my back yard!

Because most of the trees are brilliantly colored, but not so many leaves on the ground,yet.
But then, you know that.
The colors cannot be beat.
This is the major thing I miss, living in this part of CA. Even though I was quite young when we moved from Illinois, I still remember the turning trees and their magnificent colors.
Thank you so much for sharing the beauty!
It’s almost like nature’s last hurrah until the snow comes. I’m glad this photo brought back some good memories for you!
but leaves are changing quickly! Here’s yesterday’s view looking north from the end of my street. The snowy area is the foothills of the Rattlesnake Wilderness. Winter is creeping our way!
Lodge Grass is stunning.
“Nothing gold can stay ….”
So true.
Maybe crop those out to fend off the snarky internet comments? 
I love to notice light in pictures … morning, late afternoon, dusk … each one creates a certain mood. Thank you for noticing! I’ll bet New England is gorgeous this time of year. We have some very nice scenery here in Ohio, as well.
I’ve been looking for inspiration!
I have a tree on the corner of my condo that turns a bright lemony yellow which is just beginning to change now. I painted that tree in Summer, Fall and Winter just after snow fell. I’m very happy with how it came out. I have all three of them hanging on the wall above the sofa in the living room, like a trilogy. I live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
Your tree is gorgeous! 
Lucky you.
