They're not too different from last year's or the year before's :-D But here they are: Lothlorien

I dunno, I think they're a bit more "brilliantly" gold this year!
What made me look twice was the waterfall picture. At first it looked like someone had scattered gold doubloons all around! 
Thank you, Aunt Dora!

was the aspen leaves in the fir trees. They looked like Christmas ornaments. And you're right, the colors seemed especially vibrant this year.

I did think for a moment it was an already-decorated Christmas tree!
Beautiful photos - thanks for adding a few moments of "Oooooh" to the day :-).

Thanks for sharing.
I traveled through the Sierra Nevada just north of Lake Tahoe (Nevada/California) last weekend, and the trees were just starting to turn in the higher elevations. So beautiful.

especially your aspen ones. My favorite one this year is the one you deemed 'stained glass'. Next year i will beg for a video of them in their 'quaking' state:).

Each one of these is an absolute work of art.
Amazing that Tolkien (I'm guessing) never saw aspens like this--or do they have them in England?
It looks so exactly like he described, at least to me.
