Fall is POPPING on Fleming Family Farm!
The maples are really showing off this year!
The creek tunnel is covered in maple leaves that have fallen since the temperature swings have dipped into the freezing zone. El Nino years give us a much better color palette on the leaves than those years where the cold snap happens fast. The trees seem to react better to a gradual decrease in temps than a rapid one. At least the leaves die slower that way which is what gives the cool colors.
I love this picture and it is extremely hard to recreate the full feel of the scene. The outer leaves are gold/dead and then it gets greener as it nears the center which is focused on the creek's output from the tunnel. I fell like I need to be doing some stacking or much longer shutter to get a ton more color depth. The colors of the leaves are so good this year so I am going to be playing more. Too bad it will be cloudy and raining the next few days.
The leaves have piled nicely on the concrete of the tunnel's output and there is the couple of partly red leaves mixed in among the yellow and golden.
The leaves are right up to the water's edge on its decline to the small fall into the pool. The recent rains have kept the moisture high in the creek bed so the leaves have kept a layer water/dew drops on them. I have found a few more of the trees on the farm are turning really nice colors so i will be getting more shots over the next few days before the weather totally toasts the rest.

Great photos. Fall Is may favorite time of year, and one of my favorite to photograph.
The leaves have not quite started changing here in Oklahoma yet, we probably have another few weeks. I'm looking forward to it.

Thank you. I am going to use my tripod for the next shots and do some long shutter. I really want to represent the depth of the color that I am seeing.
Hopefully you get a nice gradual transition so the you get all the colors.
