You can have the pastels of spring and the greens of summer (to quote Paul Simon) but give me the bright, vivid colors of autumn. In summer, every leaf looks the same, all blending into one large green canopy, in fall every leaf transforms into something unique. So here is a sampling of Mother Nature's psychedelic art.

I too love this time of year
~R~
Snarky: Um..okay, not sure he'll prefer those to a lizard, but thanks.
Boanerges: Thank you, lschmoopie's OC inspired me to put a different spin on it.
Lschmoopie: Thanks so much for this OC, glad you enjoyed my take on it, I only wish I could have added the music I had in mind, I really wanted Donovan's "Season of the Witch" in this but couldn't figure out how to add just the music.
M.C.S: Wow! That's one of the nicest comments I've ever received, thank you!
designanator: Thank you, I actually shot these earlier in the week and spent about 2 days playing with the cropping, glad you liked them.
Cindy: Thanks! I wanted them to be like the swirling colors they used to project during psychedelic rock concerts and truthfully, it was your shot of a leaf in the last Gallery Challenge that gave me the idea.
