My World Tuesday: Up Close and Just Like That

Host unlimited photos at slide.com for FREE!

These days in Connecticut, everything starts to look about the same--and I love all of it. It's an especial pleasure to wake early and enjoy the morning light on the leaves. Every panoramic landscape I can think of comes down to this.

  2. They are beautiful. They are so essential to the rhythm of summer and winter. The colours are uplifting, and I always enjoy the smell!

  3. I like the dimension in these. Also, the variety of colors just makes the photo!

  5. The muted colours are beautiful in this shot, I love them.

    When I was a little girl I used to pick up every pretty leaf I found and bring it inside to save; now my son does the same thing. It's terrible when a favourite will finally dry out and crumble, but fortunately (for now) there are plenty more to find!

    Happy autumn, and happy My World Tuesday!

  7. Our leaves are pretty much fallen now, except for a few still hanging on for dear life. One big windstorm will probably bring them down, though. This is a great shot! :D

    I love leaves when they change colors and explode in glorious reds and yellows or when they crunch under my feet as I take a walk.

    Happy Thanksgiving.

  14. Beautiful isn't it even with those tones of brown we're seeing right now. Won't be long before it's all white.

  16. It is interesting to see trees and leaves in other countries during autumn. They have such beautiful colours. Our trees and leaves are just the same throughout the year with no colour except green...lol. We dont have four seasons.

  29. It's so great that you posted this today. I took several pictures of leaves on our lawn this past week. I was feeling kinda proud of some of them... I especially liked the way the light played on and through them. My husband just didn't get it. He couldn't understand why I'd do something like that. I was so excited to show him your site this morning. Sweet affirmation! Yes! Beautiful shot. Beautiful thought. Beautiful lady.

  30. Great CT My World post! Are we appreciating the brown leaves as much as we did the red and gold? Not likely! But you found beauty in them and shared that beauty...

  31. The starkness of winter trees makes for melancholy picctures.

  32. Our days are mostly the same, too. A very different "same" than yours, but there is nothing wrong with repetition,especially when there is beauty in it.

  33. The autumn leaves provide texture to the landscape as they dance in the wind, then spiral down. Soon the world will be quiet and covered in a downy blanket.

  34. Do you have the autumn now? Here where I live we have winter and beautiful white snow;)
