I love "Misfit", ttbk!

Some from today:

cem, so many of your photos give me goosebumps because of their beauty and ... rightness. The only other photos I've had the same intensity of reaction to are in a collection of photographs from the Glen Canyon before it was flooded by Lake Powell. The book is titled "The Place No One Knew," and I spent hours with it when I was a teenager. It still has great meaning for me.

ttbk, I'm not looking forward to November 7.

Your photo output is sure to drop sharply for a while!

Those are beautiful. Leaves glowing in sunlight. It's wonderful while it lasts! The big-leaf maple outside my office window is two-thirds bare.

I particularly like that color one, ttbk! The leaves look as though they are dancing. (To me, anyway)

Wampus, thank you.

I am glad that I can inspire you in any way possible.

Prim, trees without leaves can be interesting:

They can indeed!

We had that same kind of day here. Clear light and blazing color. Here it was very cold and will be colder tonight.

Beautiful pics, TTBK and Cem!

No fall color here.

A coworker, recently moved here from North East, asked when the leaves would turn yellow. We told him it would be in the next Ice Age.

I missed fall more than any other season when I lived in L.A. for six years. Riding the bus trying to remember what month it was.

Those feather-duster palm-tree tops 100 feet up never change, and there's little other vegetation, at least in the part of town where we lived.

If I lived in the Bay Area, as lovely as it is, I would miss the trees turning.

No leaves changing?

I couldn't stand it. The glory of that gets me through the entire year.

Whatever could you mean?

This is slightly out of sync with the rest of the thread, but it was on the lawn this morning, mysteriously.

It was a very windy night.

Looks perfectly natural to me.

Sky feathers!

Cem, I hope you know this, but your pictures are quite the opposite of spam, being both welcome and appropriate. The fact that they're utterly gorgeous is a bonus for us all.

More picture spam:

If a picture's worth a 1000 words, then I'd say cem is about as spammy as our resident nerdanel.

Ok... if you insist. I just sometimes feel like most people must get tired of my pictures.

Here are some of our family cat, Newton, enjoying the fall weather. I swear he was mugging for the camera:
