Already?

Even though I know we have more nice weather to come and all the beautiful colors of fall to look forward to here in Maine, it makes me sad every year to see the first leaves start to turn so early and realize how incredibly short our summers really are. I took this photo in my yard today, but I've been seeing leaves that have already turned since early last week.

Auto white balance

And looky, I'm on theme because there are lines in the leaves.

Wow, already? I'd be depressed! I can't stand to be cold so winter is my enemy! But this is a beautiful shot nonetheless!

Ack! That is just too soon!

As much as I would appreciate some cooler weather, I am thinking 85 not 65. ;)

Oh man, Becky I know what you mean! We've got stuff turning already, too. Love it; dread what's after the colors. This is a neat shot; I really like the muted colors. It's as if autumn is trying to be stealthy.

As much as I enjoy summer, I love the change of seasons even more. I was just thinking today that I'm bored with summer photos...and to see your colorful leaves really has me pining for some change (although I'll keep the warm weather, lol) Great shot!

I'm so ready for fall already! It's HOT here! :) Of course, fall for us doesn't come until mid to late November usually.

This is so pretty, I love seeing the leaves change color! I was in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Maine last year when the leaves were changing and it was just beautiful!
