But I think I have to agree with Joyce Kilmer:

A poem lovely as a tree'

Fine photos as usual Bob. Autumn is one of my favourite time of year.
Re your dynamic layout, took me a few seconds to work out how to post a comment.
Great fall shots. I like all the apples ready for eating. Your fall and our fall is almost the same. We are a few weeks late this year.
It is a beautiful time of the year, but quite amazing how it can be differently viewed in much the same way.
Thomas Hardy - Last Week in October
The trees are undressing, and fling in many places--
On the gray road, the roof, the window-sill
Their radiant robes and ribbons and yellow laces;
A leaf each second so is flung at will,
Here, there, another and another, still and still.
Philip Larkin - Autumn
The air deals blows: surely too hard, too often?
No: it is bent on bringing summer down.
Dead leaves desert in thousands, outwards, upwards,
Numerous as birds; but the birds fly away,
Great pictures. Love the last one, the blackberries. We had a huge blackberry bush in our backyard when I was growing up. I can remember many a time gorging ourselves on them right off the bush. Mmmmm.
I really like the new layout, Bob. It's delightfully spare, which lets your photos shine even more.
I've been mulling going the dynamic route, as well. I don't think I've touched my template since I first launched the blog. Maybe it's time...
Ms. Kilmer's right on. Trees are indeed poetry. As is your series of pics here. Just lovely!
Beautiful photos... I'm a great tree lover too. And the blackberries make my mouth water.
I have tried this layout a couple of times, but haven't been tempted to apply it. I'm a creature of habit, I guess.
I Like The New Look Bob! Grand Photos.Autumn Is With Us.A Lovely Time Of Year [as long as it stays dry!]
Love the fall photos, you captures it all - the berries, apples...
As far as the layout goes...I like the new layout options, but when I came here it appeared as the "classic" view and one needs to click on the other types of views (magazine for instance) to view it the other ways.
I love the first 2... Changing of the leaves is my favorite as well as the blanket formed on the ground by them..
( overall I love this layout)
the images.
where to start?!
I shall be revisiting, so i'm not stalking, just needing to come back to these....
you appear to have scooped up everything and i can almost smell the apples
The pics capture autumn perfect! And your layout is great :)
