Judy's Photoblog
A favourite...
Posted by Judy (Brooksville, Florida, United States) on 15 August 2009 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.
I had to use the Canadian spelling because this Nova Scotia image is one that warms my heart ... and the Canadian blood in my veins!
Thank you so much for visiting my blog; your comments are greatly appreciated. I apologize for not getting to all of your posts. I will visit as time permits.

Don't we all look forward to autumn and the colours and the mellow light and the feeling of peace! I DO!!! Your image just makes me sigh with pleasure and expectation!
(It is hot here, we had several earthquakes and the cicadas are getting on my nerves! Hate this summer, it keeps me locked in my rooms!)

@Japanalia: Comments on this photo are interesting to me. While you are looking forward to autumn because of summer's heat (as we are here in Florida also), it was always the preface to our cold, damp and often bitter winter weather in New England. I see Leena speaks of not "waiting so eagerly" for the weather to change. Of course her summers are not so hot but winters are very LONG and very COLD.
I'm happy you enjoyed the colors of my photo. I don't think I want the earthquakes or the cicadas. :D

Oh you mean favourite as opposed to favorite. I think we pretty well use favorite. I think , I am not sure. I am so mixed up. Well American neighbour, oops neighbor, the colours (colors) are wonderful. Great shot dear Judy.

@Marion: Grinning...I use words like out & about to remind me of your spellings. You live so close to the border that it may be confusing to many. I wonder what the children are learning in school on these spelllings.
Happy you liked my Canadian shot!

@tyan: Thank you so much, Tyan. Maybe someday you'll get to Canada.
Leena from Joensuu, Finland
So, Canadian use British spelling, I see!
And colours ( in our school only this was a right spelling, I have to ask now from my grandchildren, how is it nowadays ) in your photo are heart warming - thanks for those brilliant maples and YOU, Judy!
Beautiful autumn days are near, but in this part of world, I am not waiting for them so eagerly - the summer ( never too hot here ) is short, the autumn and darkness go side by side and it is not very glad thing to wait for.
But in this moment we have a sunny, warm summer day still ( 19C=66,2F ) and I am going to enjoy!

@Leena: Yes, in Canada they use 'ou' in many places that we only use the 'o'. If you think of it, do ask your grandchildren what they're learning now. I'm happy you enjoyed the photo, but I do understand that you do now want to rush toward winter. Right now our temperature outside is 93F = 34C ... too hot! :D

Lambspun from Madison, Maine, United States
Oh my, Judy those leaves are so beautiful! We have so many maples around us which are beautiful too but not as many birches......and the red is something else. Really striking shot!

@Lambspun: Thank you ... I think the White Birch added so much contrast to this shot.
Lorraine from Gatineau, Canada
Ha my sweet .5 Canuck, I love Maple Trees in the Fall more than just about anything...I love this, beautiful photo Judy on this high heat, high humidity day, I love it even more x
15 Aug 2009 3:33pm
@Lorraine: It's 93F = 34C here at 3:30 in the afternoon; time for a siesta as it's too hot to do anything outside!
Glad you enjoyed the photo.
susan from Fort Lauderdale, FL, United States
Ahhhhh, to see the changing of the leaves......this is a wonderful reminder of what i've missed for a few years......
15 Aug 2009 4:00pm
@susan: Me too ...... we're hoping we might get to see some color in the GA mountains in October, but we may be too early.
Chris from South Jersey, United States

njsux from Shrewsbury, NJ, United States
Oh no - do we have to start thinking about fall already?? Time to get out the LL Bean catalog.
15 Aug 2009 9:59pm
@njsux: Yup ... LL Bean is ready for what you will need up there! :D
Bookfool from Mississippi, United States
I can see why that's a favourite. Or a favorite. LOL You have Canadian blood? I love Canadians. My son is marrying into a family with a bunch of Canadian ties and they're thinking about holding the wedding in Canada. He said it's an excuse to travel. Nova Scotia's on my wishlist of places to go.
15 Aug 2009 11:58pm
@Bookfool: I do have Canadian blood; my ancestors came from England & Scotland, married in Quebec and raised 8 children there. Three went to Montana, 2 stayed in Quebec, and 3 went to Massachusetts. My g-grandfather was one of those in MA.
It sounds as if you just might get to some part of Canada in the future ... they're GOOD people! ♥
Anina from Auckland, New Zealand
Lovely shot!
Great colours and tones - very pretty :)
Composition and dof are both spot on
16 Aug 2009 1:13am
@Anina: Thank you, Anina ... and what a pretty name!
Barbara from Florida, United States
I like how you composed this and the light tree trunks with the explosion of red leaves. I've really missed fall since living in Florida, this certainly makes me want to experience again. Stunning, Judy.

@Barbara: My grandparents had two clumps of white birch in their front yard and I've always loved them. To see the red maples and all the birch was a thrill. I do hope we get to see a little color in Oct. in the GA mountains. I miss it too.
Marilla from Turku, Finland
Lovely bright red! It's sad to see summer fading but glad to see autumn and it colOUrs coming. Thanks for visiting my blog!
16 Aug 2009 2:04pm
@Marilla: Thanks, Marilla. I loved your comment, especially your "colOUrs" ..... <grin>
