The Beginning of Fall

 Thursday, October 13, 2011

Fall hasn't really hit LA yet.  It was actually about 97 degrees out today. But even still, we are just starting to get a teeny tiny bit of fall colors around.  The Shades of Autumn photo challenge this week is for the color yellow, so I went for a walk to see if I could find any.  It's mostly still green! But if you look in the right places,  some fall color is beginning to show.

I think I like this last one the best, because at first glance, it almost looks like selective coloring, as if it was put into black and white and only the yellow color of the leaves was allowed to show through!

Thanks to everyone who linked up for the first Photo Tip Tuesday! The linky will be open until Midnight tonight PST, so there's still time to link up.  I will post my favorites this weekend.

Love all of your yellow! My favorite is the tree. Great perspective.

As I was reading what you wrote I was looking at your tree picture and nodding my head that it does indeed look like a black and white with yellow highlighting! Great fall captures!

I really love the last two shots - screams fall!

Judy October 13, 2011 at 7:50 PM  

Our fall is on it's way out now. I do like them all but I really like the last two.

Can't believe it's still so warm there. You managed to find a ton of autumn in spite of the weather. Bravo. They are all lovely captures for yellow. Thanks so much for joining us for the Shades of Autumn Challenge!

Stunning yellow shots Jaymi! I love how the colors pop. I think the last one is my favorite as well. The perspective and lines are beautiful. Thank you for sharing!

I love the last two! Beautiful shots!!

Hi Jaymi! Nice shots and great colors! I am so sorry I've missed your linky this week. The last few days were quite hectic and by the time I came over here, the linky was closed.:) Next week for sure! I love the idea of a photo tips linky!!!

Wow! Love the colors and perspective in that last shot and the bokeh in the 2nd to last compliments the in-focus leaves so well! :)
