In last week’s Saturday Snapshot I mentioned that yellow was our fall default colour. Sure I’d like to see more spectacular red, but yellow is by no means a uniform colour. Recently I’ve been savouring the various shades of yellow, a sumptuous visual feast.
A lighter shade of yellow:
Rusty yellow against solid blue:
Wabi-sabi yellow, see the half-fallen tree on top, aftermath of the snow storm:
Faraway yellow in the morning mist:
Close-up yellow back lit:
Yellow against dark green coniferous:
Luminous deciduous delight:
Everywhere I turn, I’m seeing yellow… even kayaks and canoes rise to the occasion:
As a birder, I was delighted to spot a yellow rump amidst yellow leaves:

We.re a bit behind you in the UK – the trees are just beginning to change colour – some quicker than others. I love all the autumn colours – spectacular!

Margaret,
Falling fast though. Many trees are bare now, albeit some are still in their glorious yellow. But soon, there will be soon.

I love your beautiful study of yellow foliage. So striking, especially against that vivid blue sky. Our trees are just starting to show color in the Pacific Northwest. I’m looking forward to the display–but not for the onslaught of leaves in gutters and storm drains.
My Saturday Snapshots today are from the Cinque Terre.

By now, most of the leaves have fallen. And soon, snow will be coming. So much for the beautiful shades of yellow.

Lovely photos. We don’t seem to have much sign of autumn yet, although it is getting a bit colder. I love the photo with the faraway misty view.

Thanks. That was quite a panoramic view of the river valley. Leaves have mostly fallen now, we await … uh… the flu season. ;(

What a great collection of shades. I do love yellow (and green), so there’ s much here that’s appealing. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but I think the rusty yellow, and the “luminous deciduous delight”, whose title I like almost as much as the photo!

Love love love that yellow-green first image. Reminds of the tender greens of spring. The golden yellows are beautiful, too.
And, yes, triple digits. We were a mere 81F today.

Yes, that’s my fave shade of yellow, not unlike spring when the greens emerge. Now, do you ever get winter? Or yellow leaves?
LikeLike
Yes, we get yellow leaves, but they swiftly move to drab brown. There are a few that turn red. I’ve always counted January as winter 😉 After that, we get rains and then the garden awakens — can’t very well call that winter!

These are spectacular. Our color here looked so promising when I was north but I’m still waiting for an awful lot of trees to turn. They seem oddly late — perhaps stubborn, given our short and cool summer. I’d love to all that yellow and bright blue sky — it dazzles!
