Photo Friday: Autumnal BrillancePosted by drfl on November 6th, 2009
Although autumn was fleeting in Nebraska and Iowa this year, there were some hold outs after the snowfall. This maple tree turned brillant warm oranges and reds two weeks after the storm and managed to hang on to a majority of its leaves during some pretty gusty times. I couldn’t help but stop and capture the vibrant colors with the setting sun filtering through the leaves.

dreamfalcon and Amber, thank you, the color made me stop for over an hour (twice!) and capture this tree.
