We took a drive through Ledges yesterday. You can see in the photo that a lot of the leaves were already down, but it was still very colorful. This photo was taken about half-way down Canyon Road in the park.
Developed using Darktable 3.6.0. Additional post-processing with GIMP 2.10.24 and G'MIC 2.7.9 filters.

Misty mornings, frosted lawns
The wind is blowing a winter's song.
Changing colors of the leaves,
Slowly falling from the trees.
Soon the trees will all be bare,
Offering no shelter taken there.
So gather up the summer's harvest,
For darker days are now upon us!

There's a chill in the air,
a cold smile to the new day.
Autumn's breath is upon us,
and a flower that must fade.
