Red leaves of autumn:

I am finally "caught up" with most of my
late summer photos to share with you..
and
over the next few blogposts,
I will be sharing some of my autumn colors
photos too.

I know it is New Year's time and snow is with most people...
but I have to get caught up, people! LOL

Besides, we could all use some color in our lives this time of year, no???

    Such beautiful photos. The ones of the lake shoreline with the petty fall colors really catches my eye.
    Happy New Year, Gail
