Weekly Photo Challenge: Saturated

On 09/30/201309/30/2013 By Kat at travelgardeneatIn Gratitude

Just one of the many photos I took yesterday while hiking and taking in the spectacular hues of the northern Minnesota landscape. This solitary maple leaf, gently cradled in a bed of spiky groundcover, seemed to bleed red from its veins, so saturated it was with the changing colors of the season.

Ciao! ~ Kat

This post was in response to the Daily Post’s Weekly Photo Challenge. ”Saturated” was this week’s theme. Everyone is welcome to join in the Challenge; further details on how to participate and links to others’ responses are found here.

Now that’s a leaf going out in style, Kat. Mid Michigan is starting to see the first of the leaves changing color – and I think this is my favorite time of year. Hope all is well in MN!

  Fall is my favorite season, too — always never long enough before the snow flies, though! Just love the details of the changing season.

  Along the big Lake they are just starting — really should be pretty in the next week or two. But inland up the Shore is just gorgeous!

You’ve got to love those red leaves at this time of year! I would have never thought of “saturated” describing them, but will from now on.

  With the wet, windy weather we’ve had in recent days, saturated has a whole new meaning this weekend!
