I love old barns …. especially red ones!  In my pre-pet photography days, I frequently went out in search of barns and great landscapes to photograph.  Finding barns isn’t so difficult, but finding pretty barns, in a nice setting, without a lot of clutter is a little more challenging.  Finding a red barn sitting beside a tree with bright yellow/orange leaves on a sunny Fall afternoon is like winning the lottery!

With heavy rain and wind in the forecast, I thought it might be good to head out yesterday to photograph the colors of Fall before all of the leaves are on the ground.  This is a scene from Lake Francis – outside of Hazleton, Pa.  I usually end up visiting this spot a week or two beyond peak color (not by choice, but because I forget to go!), but yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with the vivid reds, yellows, and oranges that I saw around the perimeter of the lake.  There were plenty of folks enjoying a hike, picnic and I even saw a couple having their engagement photos taken!  A great day for photography!

A weekend canoe ride on the lake…what a peaceful way to spend an afternoon!

Nature’s splash of Fall color is emerging in my area.  Yesterday I visited 3 different lakes – all within about 10 miles of each other – and it was surprising to see the amount of variation in the color.  This image was made during a quick stop on the way home from lake #3.  I just couldn’t pass up that flash of orange-red as the late afternoon sun hit the trees.
