We interrupt our regularly scheduled programming for a special announcement: IT'S FALL, Y'ALL! The post which was scheduled for today has been delayed in order to bring you our fall color; otherwise, you would be seeing these shots late in December. I can't dance, but I'm doing a happy jig right now. I'm thrilled to finally see real fall colors, even if it's scattered here and there. These were taken on W. Lakeshore Dr. on the LSU campus, November 14.

Snowy egret on a bald cedar |

The wind was kicking up quite a bit, so I know this is not in complete focus, but I was hoping someone
could help identify this tree. Since I took this shot last week, all these trees are completely red now.
UPDATE: Using an app called Leafsnap, I was able to identify this as a Willow Oak! |
I will be in Mississippi fishing at Lake Okhissa today, so I'll catch up when I return. Y'all have a good one!

The colour is gorgeous, Gail! WOW!
Beautiful fall colors! Ours are gone here in KY so it's nice to see that they're still out there somewhere :)
These are wonderful, Gail. Now, wasn't that worth the wait? The image with the white berries and red leaves against the blue sky is my favorite. It just pops.
I just went back and looked at that picture again and realized that the blue in the background is water. Oh well. It's early.
Glorious! The colors are so rich and vibrant - full of beauty :) Hugs to you, sweet friend!
It FINALLY caught up to you. I know you have been waiting anxiously.
These are beautiful captures of the color!
Hope the fishing trip went well.
love it! :) leaves are raining here this week, too. amazing how quickly it hit.
I LOOOVE fall and all the reds, golds, yellows!! Your photos are LOVELY!

Oh these are really beautiful, and yes, I found some fall that fell here too! Great minds, or more like gulf coast living! haha
the best part of fall is that it keeps getting better and better :)
Good for you!!! Isn't it glorious. I hope you catch a lot of fish. Have a great week.

Very beautiful captures. Each like a greeting card.
Your artistic eye, and your camera skills have captured the essence of fall colours perfectly, Gail! Beautiful!
Great colours!! A stab at the ID-one of the ash species. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
Beautiful. Our leaves are quickly turning brown and I've been unable to find any particularly lovely ones. I should try harder.

I think Chinese tallow trees are so beautiful in the autumn. Makes me almost miss Houston! We have those last ones here, too, and I don't know what they are, but they are pretty magnificent, aren't they?
Your leaf shots are gorgeous! I like the autumn colors and the wonderful structures.
Gorgeous -- we're too far south!
