Autumn in the country

annualaI'm a bit slow at getting these photos up, sadly. They've been on Facebook for a while, but I just now got them up onto Flickr, and so can share them here.
I'd been waiting for the fall colours to really show, but this year's colours were unspectacular, to say the least. Something to do with the dry, dry summer we experienced, as I understand it.
This is a shot from a local "development"; a real estate agent bought up the old Andrews property down the road, which was at one time a farm, so there was a lot of acreage involved. The agent fancies she's going to make a killing creating "waterfront" lots. Never mind that the waterfront is a good half-mile down this lane.
It's pretty, anyway.
It was one of those days when I found the clouds more interesting than the landscape:
I'm often enchanted by the play of light and shadow over the hills on a day like this one was. Nine times out of 10, I don't have my camera with me.
As I said, the colours weren't really anything to write home about this year. And now pretty much all the leaves are gone. The season is drawing in. Soon the snow will fly...
