Autumn Leaves
There's just a certain thing about the fall, ya know? At any given time, you have trees ranging from green to red to orange to yellow to brown, and everywhere in between, often with many different shades on one tree. What you see here is how the trees of James Madison University looked on the afternoon of November 14, 2002, a clear, cool, and crisp autumn day.
On a different note, this is also the first photo set that I made using "Big Mavica", a Sony Mavica CD400 that I used from 2002 to 2008.
Over on JMU's east campus, this grove of trees is a dark maroon, nearly ready to officially shed its leaves for winter.
Looking towards Godwin Hall (in the background), we stand in the shade of orange leaves, while viewing gorgeous yellow leaves ahead of us.
In front of Warren Hall, people lounging on the green swing shown here can bask in the shade provided by orange leaves, and delight in the red leaves beside them.
Nearer to the quad, we find a tree that's a gorgeous dark red, with a little green still there.
In front of Carrier Library, we find perhaps one of the most beautiful trees on campus, with green, red, yellow, and orange leaves all together.
Behind Wilson Hall, next to Keezell Hall, this tree is still hanging on to a few yellow leaves, though most of its leaves have scattered to the four winds.
Along the breezeway, this tree with beautiful red leaves is standing tall and proud.
Looking beyond the trees, we find more trees close to Wilson Hall that have already shed all their leaves.
And looking down, we find a blanket of leaves hiding the ground.
On the other side of Wilson Hall, next to Maury Hall, looking into the leaves, we find a field of yellow, with green leaves here and there.
What a beautiful sight in nature, with the tree naturally fading from yellow to orange to red!
Beyond Maury and Wilson, we find coniferous trees, which remain green year-round.
Behind Wilson and Maury Halls, you definitely have a diversity of colors in the leaves!
Next to Moody Hall, another gorgeous red-and-orange tree stands.
Finally, looking through the trees in late afternoon, we find another diamond in the rough, a cluster of yellow leaves around a tree.
