The theme for this week's SUNDAY STILLS photo challenge is YELLOW.
I took these during a long walk last Sunday, just after I'd read the e-mail announcing the theme. Skies were blue, and it was 70 degrees outside that day!
That's more like Spring temperatures for this part of Oregon. But the yellow leaves were a reminder that it was November.
On another morning (early) the sky had a golden-yellow glow. Again, it was warm for fall, but the migrating geese were a visual and audio reminder of the season.
Thank you Ed for hosting the challenge and welcome back.
A truly marvelous sight - those birds. I've never seen so much of them flying in group or even that close as I live in the inland. :(

It is so nice to see what is going on in other places. The color is gone from my area so it is great to relive autumn again, albeit virtually.

You've certainly captured the essence of golden-yellow, especially with that last shot.

Love that shot of the geese, its really a great image! I always enjoy seeing them fly over...such a feeling of freedom.

Great photo of the geese in flight. I watched them in "awe" when in Rochester, Minn. on my visits to my sister and husband. However, they were not overly welcome on landing, they did make a bit of mess - ha ha!

Weather report: Rained steadily all night, the good drenching stuff. Gardens will welcome it. I think it will continue all day.

Autumn leaves and migrating geese are messengers of the deep autumn. Your photos are amazingly beautiful and remind me of transience of time and life. I especially love the third one. Enjoy a wonderful autumn day.
