hunting for fall color

I almost let the light escape before I got up from my cozy stove and took the camera outdoors. There's not much color left but green and brown.

And blue, of course.

I found red in various shades. (Ah, the mysteries of computer graphics. The middle picture looks too dark to be red in blogger preview, almost black. In my photo-editing software, as well as real life, it looks quite bright.)

And most of all, gold.

I seldom look at this tree from this angle. It's my balcony tree, the one that shades me when I drink coffee outdoors in summer, and that provides the birds and squirrels a stage on which to perform for me. Looking at the Whole Tree is a different experience.
