Bio
I'm a photographer not a writer. Became a photographer when I realized I was better behind the camera than in front of it. This is an experiment to see if the beauty of my words will ever live up to the beauty of my photographs. so far the photographs are winning, but I haven't given up yet.

Psychedelic Saturday: Fall is the Psychedelic Season

Rate: 15 Flag

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.

Beautiful, colourful work! Autumn is one of my favourite seasons too!! Goodmorning from Greece, Shutterbug!!
Stathi: Good morning to you! Thanks!
I like the fuzzy orange berries!
beauttiful I would like to have those oranges (?) for pets...so much cuddlier than a lizard. I will have to show son.
Fall is wonderful, and you've captured some of the best of it.
I'm so thrilled with this addition to my OC! It's a perfect representation of psychedelic. I adore your photos and since this is the first weekend in my region that feels fall-ish after 6 weeks of temperatures in the 90's-100's. Beautiful work!
OMG your photos stir my soul
I too love this time of year

A Simple Shutterbug, this is a beautiful collection--so colorful, sharp, and nicely composed/cropped!
Absolutely wonderful. You make it all so much lovelier than it is. You know how pics do not do a scene justice? Well, you just killed that notion, these are hypnotizing!
V. Corso: Thanks! Wish I knew what they are actually called.

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.
I guess we're more likely to relate feelings of an imminent end and subdued colours with Autumn ... but you've certainly shown the vibrant and alive side of Autumn.
Really enjoyed these. up close and personal..

Oh you are right it is the perfect season for enjoying a swirl of color. Thank you
Kate: The colors are actually just beginning to show here, but I think it may be a short season.

Algis: Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

Zanellle: Hopefully there's more to come.
Mabgnificent! That last one looks like a butterfly's wing!
Hey 'Bug! These are really wonderful. You have such a good eye for color and for shapes. My fave - the juxtaposition of the brown leaf and the still-green leaf. Excellent work!
nilesite: Thanks! The brown & green leaves are my favorite to.
