Shades of Autumn – green
October 7, 2011 17 Comments
I heard about a weekly photo challenge a few weeks back focusing on the shades of autumn and thought I’d give it ago. The first colour is green. This first photo was my initial thought – a box of apples I was given from someones apple tree.
Then last weekend we went walking in the woods and I took this photo which I loved so this is my actual photo for green. I just love the light shining through the trees. It was a glorious day. We were experiencing a very late heat wave (it has passed now and it is back to grey, wet and cold). It was very strange to be walking through the autumn leaves on the 1st October in shorts! We even had a BBQ that evening and stayed outside till nearly 8 in shorts and T-shirts (unheard of most of the summer months never mind in autumn).
I took quiet a few more photos that I love but I’m saving them for some of the other weeks of shades of autumn. The photo below is my favorite photo from the week because again I love the light in the photo but also the vibrant greens and the composition.
That last shot is really soft and gorgeous.

Gorgeous shots. Love them.
I love your last photo too. The light really highlights the greens and outlines beautifully.
Oh, such a great series of green. So pretty.
I really love that last shot! Thanks for joining us in the Shades of Autumn Photo Challenge. I’m so happy to hear that you’re already planning out future weeks’ photos. Can’t wait to see what you come up with next week when we move onto a new theme, yellow. Have a great weekend.
Lovely photos all, but I especially love the last one. Have a great weekend.
