Although we have a little over a month left of autumn most of our leaves have fallen here. Heck one day this week we had some freezing rain and a spit of snow. Sigh….
I love autumn so I am hosting the 2022 Festival of Leaves Challenge. I will post every Thursday and I invite everyone to join in at any time through the week for any or all weeks.
This challenge usually runs about 10-12 weeks, with the last week being a wrap up. You can link up here or on any of the individual weeks. Be sure to tag your post Festival of Leaves so it is easy to find in the reader.

Leaves tumbling here too after a week of heavy rain and wind, though I am sure the woodland trees will still have some colour. One of my favourite things to do in autumn is to look for interesting seed heads to photograph. I think you’ll like this one and the tree has a lovely appropriate name too.

It’s part of the old town in a neighboring town. I love houses like this and when I saw all the leaves in the yard I knew it would be a good shot for this week.
Thanks.

I dug the last of our fall leaves out of the gutters today. It doesn’t feel like autumn out there, we’re hoping for a few mild days still.

We lost the leaves completely overnight, but that was because of the long drought. It was why everything lit up all at once, why it only lasted for 10 days, and ended more or less instantly. Weather is pretty funky these days.

It is still something we can’t control.

I have TONS of photographs left, so if you continue to run this, I will happily participate. I need to do something useful with all those photographs!

Well, I will be there! I probably have several hundred unprocessed photos from that 10 day period — both mine and Garry’s.

I’m still trying to catch up on the housework I skipped when I was out trying to capture that beautiful autumn, which now, btw, has suddenly became winter. Grrr…

So many leaves are gone now, Dawn, but our photos will keep them alive forever! The carpet of leaves as a result is always stunning like you capture in that great pic! Here is mine today–more leaves and larches and the color brown! https://secondwindleisure.com/2022/11/20/sunday-stills-monthly-color-challenge-leather-and-shades-of-brown/
