An absolutely GORGEOUS scene, Jan. The colors and detail are striking. I especially like the autumn oak leaves, the green cover on the forest floor, the misty effect and the empty bird house.

Ditto!!! Wonderful shot, Jan!

Thanks Pat and Kumiko for your comments. I was at a loss as to what to shoot for the world day, and there it was in my own back yard. It's funny how you can go past the same scene everyday and not notice. Thanks again.

Autumn hits Minnesota sooner! Interesting to see how advanced your fall is up there, Jan. Lovely backyard scene and color! It might be "old" to you but it's very pretty and new to us! :)
