October – The Golden Fall

In oriental world, October also means the golden fall (金秋十月).  The month is a Transition between torridity and frigidity, between growth and harvest, between green and brown.

Even though October is accompanied by golden tone, it actually offers a natural palette with a wide spectrum of colors ranging from bright green to dark brown.  With an addition of blue sky, October becomes the month of a year for a photographer to capture a variety of sceneries decorated by the combinations of colors.

Those five photos were taken during our family outing at one of the suburbs outside of Minneapolis, where we played with llamas, picked up some applies, walked along scenic country roads, etc..  The countryside, especially at this golden time of the year, is a true Happy Place for us to re – connect and restore after busy days at work.
