Autumn pastoral: photos of the October countryside
A gently rolling buckwheat field, splashes of red-orange in the hardwoods and a sky filled with blue-gray clouds -- October in Genesee County.
Downstream from the Powers Road bridge, a mirror image on a placid stretch of Tonawanda Creek.
Dim light inside a woodlot and blue sky beyond really set off this maple's foliage.
A hint of early morning mist on Bowen Creek.
One of the many things I enjoy in autumn is seeing red maple leaves against a deep blue sky.
Hardly more than a trickle on this day, the Little Tonawanda nonetheless flows onward to its confluence with the mainstream Tonawanda.....
Further downstream fallen maple leaves blanket the shore while others are caught in a shallow riffle.
Just my opinion, but.....the spectacular hues of these crimson oak leaves underscore the brilliance of the autumn of 2014!!!
