Florida Fall Found Fiery Foliage

 

On our morning walk, Beau and I found five beautiful leaves, and I brought them home and went

MadSnapper Crazy and took

THIRTY FIVE PHOTOS

I brought them home to PLAY with in Procreate... and the Play Has Begun.. I took them on also sorts of backgrounds, because all I wanted was the leaf, not the back ground. I copy leaf only into procreate, and this time I played with the blending colors but there are many more things I can do... Yes I Will!

first I took this leaf from this to

This 

these leaves on a place mat to

This. and this and this and this ha ha

Isn't this just wonder-fall? Falls well, that ends well!

COMING SOONER THAT YOU THINK, there just might be MORE...

Heralds of Autumn - Florida Style

In our backyard, here in the sub-tropics, we know it is fall because the banana tree starts to do wild and colorful things... The variegated bush in front of it stays the same year round, the banana tree stays green, but in the month of October, the bottom leaves start to change colors.

ALERT! MadSnapper has found yet another editing program on-line.. Be on the LOOKOUT! she is Playing Again....

Four Seasons or NOT

No four seasons in Florida, enjoy our Florida Autumn with us

this quote is my husbands reason for living in Florida and he LOVES Florida Fall Colors for this very reason

The autumn always gets me badly, as it breaks into colours.

I want to go south, where there is no autumn, where the cold

doesn’t crouch over one like a snow-leopard waiting to pounce.

~D.H. Lawrence

all of these lovely fall colors will be with us through the winter months.

What Flordians See as Fall Color

My pet blog for dog lovers,  Fourpawsetc has new pics


 I saw the sunlight shining throuh this flower and struggle to grab it with my camera. It just could not get the beauty.

I decided to take the photos from different angles, and see what happened. and here you go. As you scroll see if you can guess what the white is in the bottom left BEFORE you get to the Answer at bottom

If you are looking Carefully, you will see the foot and that should tell you it is my gown. More early AM hunting of fall color. (yes we have privacy fence)

My Hunt For Autumn In Flordia #2

Don't you just LOVE our autumn Color?

 . These Double Orange Hibicus love cold weather and fall is the time they bloom the best.

 Nothing makes a flower more beautiful than being kissed by the sunshine

These flowers are about 4 inches accross in size

“May your joys be as bright as the morning, and your sorrows merely be shadows that fade in the sunlight of love. May you have enough happiness to keep you sweet, enough trials to keep you strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to keep you”
Irish Blessings quotes

The Earth Laughs in Flowers- Ralph Waldo Emerson

Where flowers bloom so does hope. Lady Bird Johnson

My Hunt For Autumn In Flordia #1

On October 19th, after browsing blogs of wonderful autumn colors, I was sitting by the pool watching Bob throw the ball for Jake. In a flash (ha ha) I jumped up and dashed (ha ha again) in for my camera.

I started snapping with my lens aimed at the banana tree.

Hubby says "what are you doing?"

Madsnapper answers "fall color, we have fall color"

 that first shot started me on a full week of the hunt for Autumn in our back yard.

 the above photo is just one of 3 leaves on our Bird of Paradise that will bloom all winter AND stay green. But it IS fall color.

and last but not least, this small leaf had fallen off the tree and was hanging at head height by a spider web.
