Winter White Ornaments

These would look lovely on my tree. Alas, I was on the road and didn't feel like stuffing my suitcase full of fragile glass baubles, so I settled for bringing home a photo instead.

Autumn Twilight

I seem to be drawn to twilight photos this time of year; must be the season.

This one was taken in Rothenburg ob dem Tauber in late October.

When I first saw these salmon colored leaves, I thought they were fake. I did not imagine such colors could possibly be natural - but of course, they are.

Last Leaf

As the year winds to a close, a last stubborn leaf clings defiantly to its branch.

[Update: I'm trying to figure out how to host the images on flickr and link to them from blogger. In my first attempt, the image was cropped on the right. This is my second attempt. Many thanks to Liz Castro of Pigs, Gourds, and Wikis for the specific instructions.]
