Autumn leaves against the sky
Looking upwards (or downwards) can sometimes really perk up a photo. This one is hot off the memory card, taken just this afternoon. The day started off beautifully sunny after a week of rain, and I was hot to photograph some of those incredible leaves before another rain system removed them forever. But when I could get outside, it was starting to be overcast—not the best sky for photographs of glorious fall color. But looking upwards yielded some blue, a perfect complement for the flaming orange leaves.
Visit Skywatch Friday for more skies seen around the world. Color Carnival has more bright colors, and SOOC has more straight-out-of-the-camera shots.

You are so right, the blue in the background makes the leaves pop off the page. They are lovely. Autumn is one of the most beautiful and colorful times of the year.

Our fall colors are not going to be as lovely this year. No rain and a long hot summer have taken their toll. These are beautiful.
