The trees have dropped their leaves and autumn color has faded away. Brilliant red caught my attention this fall as did landscape images instead of my usual macro photography. Whether it was shooting my favorite street to drive down in the fall or the local parks, I certainly saw my hometown different than when I grew up here. And if you have been following me for a while, you know I like different. Below is a gallery of some of the images I made this autumn of the beautiful trees and lovely reflections at Oakland Mills State Park, Saunders Park and East Lake Park.

I love how round that tree is. I shot it late one afternoon before it changed color and it was such a beautiful lime green. I’m planning on shooting it with snow too.
Love the brilliant red maple!
Thank you! The one on a foggy day?
Yes, just lovely. Thanks for sharing all these fall photos!
You are so welcome! That is one of my favorites too!
Beautiful pictures.
Thank you Sonya!
Many fine autumn photos. Red maple and mist are some of the nice and and photogenic advantages of autumn 🙂
I agree, red maples and mist or fog are so beautiful in the autumn!
Thank you!
