Falling Leaves at Nolte State Park
Yesterday we took a walk at Nolte State Park through the woods, around Deep Lake. We love it any time of year, but especially during autumn.
It was still mostly green, but there was a hint of color in the trees.
Leaves are starting to fall, filling the cool air with indescribable fragrance, adding a crunch to our step.
Vine maples are bright chartreuse, as sunlight filters through them.
But it won’t be long, till fall colors dominate as in the pictures below from November, seven years ago. I’ve squared them for #SevenforSeptember.
We’ll be back for that.
Sharing with #SundayStills, Autumn.

So many beautiful photos, Susanne! ❤️ Time marches on as do the seasons.
Thanks, John! I love the changing seasons!
You’re welcome, Susanne. 😊
Fabulous September shots with just that tiny hint of yellow, Susanne! What a beautiful area! Your November shots are the epitome of fall!
Thanks so much, Terri! That’s one of our favorite places to walk in the woods and it’s definitely at its best in fall!
Ahhhh Autumn 🍂🍁
Yes!
the beginning of autumn is one of my favourite times of year.
Me too! 😊🍂🍁
Beautiful photos. I love fall most of all. 🙂
Me too! My favorite season. 🍂🍁
Lovely photos as always, Susanne. We have falling leaves, and acorns, in abundance, but the colours are not really changing just yet. Heavy rain today!
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks so much, Pete. We had a gorgeous weekend but today is gray and drizzly here. That’s the other part of autumn, I don’t like quite as much! 🙂
Lovely photos!! We aren’t seeing much change in color yet here. I suspect we are a little behind due to dry conditions…
Thanks so much. It’s just starting to turn here and will get better and better!
Yes, autumn is creeping in 🍂 Your photos capture that late summer / early autumn vibe beautifully, with that mix of green and brown on a sunny day!
Thanks, Sarah. We had a gorgeous sunny weekend, but today is gray and drizzly. Autumn here will definitely include both. 😉 🙂
Here too!
Quite picturesque. Many of these photos belong on a calendar.
Thank you so much!
Lovely images of early fall! 😍 Our colours have barely started, because it’s still summer-like here.
Thanks so much! The trees are just beginning to turn here in the Northwest. 🙂
