Ode To Autumn

Autumn is my favorite time of year.  The weather cools a bit, football season and the World Series get underway, and nature puts up some of her most glorious displays.  If you’re feeling in a bit of a creative slump as a photographer, there’s no better time to snap out of it than autumn.  Grab your camera and just go for a walk.  There are few simple pleasures I enjoy more than shuffling through fallen leaves and taking in that distinct fallen leaf smell.  Add a glass of fresh apple cider or a cup of coffee to that, and I’m in heaven.

Fall has a wide spectrum of not only colors, but elements on its’ palette that should keep the nature photographer playing catch up right into the winter months.  I searched Flickr for outstanding and inspiring fall photographs that brilliantly display just some of the wonder that’s ours to capture this time of year.  Consider this my Ode to Autumn.

I hope you’ve enjoyed this tour through the many faces of autumn as much as I enjoyed compiling it, and hopefully you’ve found some inspiration along the way.  Now get out there and show us your best shots!
