Fiery Colors of Autumn

Two of my favorite months to enjoy the outdoors are October and November because of the fiery colors of autumn. This year, the blending of colorful leaves has been amazing in Michigan. Not only is it pretty but it is also so much fun! I still enjoy hearing the crackling of autumn leaves under my feet as I hike along the trail.

These were taken last week at Ott Biological Preserve in Battle Creek, Michigan. In the last few days the temperature has fallen enough for a light covering of snow on the ground. I can’t wait to get back soon to see what changes the first snow has made.

Shades of Autumn

What about you? Are you experiencing fall colors or the brightness of spring in your neck of the woods?

Shades of autumn from a few years back in Indiana can be seen on Autumn Colors .

    […] My favorite part has been finding trails to explore. Fall has been the most beautiful season for hiking as seen on an earlier post “Fiery Colors of Autumn.” […]

    I’m late to commenting. I love these. I don’t love the rain we get in the PNW during the fall, but I absolutely love the colors.

    Such a beautiful display of fall colours. The fall is my favourite season. Sadly most of our leaves have now already fallen.

      Light snow fell within a couple days after taking these photos and it all looks different now. I enjoyed the fall colors while it lasted. 😉

    The leaves are still green in my town, despite November.
    So, these captures from your side are just lovely 🙂

    Lovely! It is said that ‘autumn is the second spring’, isn’t it? 🙂

      I seem to go back and forth between spring and fall being my favorites. Guess that means they are tied. 😁

    Beautiful colours and I like your description of the autumn leaves crackling under your feet. We’ve had some lovely displays of colour here too but not much crackling because of all the rain!

      Thanks and I understand. With snow on the ground today, we now have the crunching of snow under our feet for a few days. 😉
