Theme:  Autumn Colors and Reflections....

One of the most defining characteristics of the fall season is the new colors that fill the landscape with the falling leaves turning to red, yellow, and orange. Van Gogh was struck by the beauty of falling leaves.  Monet 's work Autumn on the Seine used muted autumnal colors mirrored in the water below.  But let's not limit our subject choices to traditional fall landscapes -- there are exciting cityscapes that incorporate the rich colors of fall too.
