Fall Colors

Here in north Louisiana, where the pines usually outnumber the hardwoods, we don’t have the spectacular fall colors you find in the northwest and northeast, or even Arkansas and Missouri. But occasionally our hardwoods---a mix of maple, black gum, sweetgum, sassafras, hickory, elm , and various species of oak---really outdo themselves (by our standards anyway). Perhaps the drought had something to do with it, but the leaves on my place are more vivid than I’ve seen in the 15 years I’ve lived here; even the red oaks and water oaks, which are usually just a t—d-muckledy brown , were crimson and golden.

I threw in a shot of my 8N just to make this legit. Should have rolled out my JD too.

I’ve also included shots of a farm I passed on the way to my in-laws’ today. Maybe you can tell me what kind of cattle these are.

Kinda brown around here right now, althopugh it"s turning white. Come to think of it, colors weren"t that nice here, when it was colorful. Thanks for sharing
 
Look like Highland Cattle to me...

Thanks for sharing photos.

I used to truck through Bastrop, LA. on up to Pine Bluff, Ark......never saw colors as vivid as your photos.

Could say they are monochromatic colors.
looks like the cattle have strayed from home.Bill from Scotland could help.
 
Good shots. Thanks for posting. The last two fall seasons here in NC have been very colorful. Seems like Mother Nature throws in a little extra from time to time.
 
Your trees look like New England usually does, but not this year. Tornado damage, hurricane Irene, and the halloween blizzard killed the leaves, timing, and the roads for the 'leaf peepers'.
Nice tractor, fer a Ford...
Those cows.... Highlanders? Really? Look like a cross between a buffalo and my ex wife....
 
Nice fall pics.
Glad to hear you enjoyed a colorful fall.

Here in Southern Maine fall was bland and short this season. Dry summer, wet fall and quick change from warm to cold to warm to cold again and leaves went from green to wilted to brown!
