@Siam: Merci Siam, pour moi cela a toujours ete au sujet des arbres :)
GJC from Kyoto, Japan
Holy cow, that is some tree there. I wonder how the fir tree feels -- like the ugly duckling? (Revenge in winter!) And I like how you've framed this.

@GJC: Tahnks alot GJC they are all very good friends ;)

@kathy: Thanks a lot Kathy :)
Barbara from Florida, United States
Stunning colors and such a tranquil feel the way you have framed the scene embraced by the trees. I like the clarity showing the texture of the tree bark. Great title.
This is a spectacular time of year for your photography, Lorraine, I am enjoying the colors.

@Barbara: That's a lovely compliment Barbara, thank you ;)
Koushiro~光子郎 from Singapore, Singapore
There're still green leaves on the trees O_O that's interesting! Although... I don't quite get the title... Could you elaborate please? ^_^"

@Koushiro~光子郎: You didn't know that trees are friends? they are you know....;)
Nina from Hamburg, Germany
Beautiful title and the colors are great, Lorraine. Especially I like the trees on both sides, really interesting captured, gives a very nice framing for that image! :)
21 Oct 2008 11:12am
@Nina: Lovely comment NIna, thank you :)
MontereyJohn from Salinas, California, United States
Nice! You framed the fall colors between the trees beautifully. We don't "do" Fall here on The Central Coast, and I have to admit, I miss it :)
21 Oct 2008 11:30am
@MontereyJohn: I'm getting a little bored with it myself lol thanks John :)
Judy from Brooksville-Florida,, United States
Ohhhhhhhhh, what glorious gold you found to set off those emerald leaves, while the trees converse with each other.
21 Oct 2008 11:42am
@Judy: Friends, yes they are the best of friends ...:) thanks somuch Judy
@Hans: I'm glad you're nejoying the photos Hans ;)
Marion from Nanaimo, BC, Canada
What a yummy image. I must, I must take my camera with me today and stop the car and take some pictures of our golden trees. They are so beautiful right now.
21 Oct 2008 12:51pm
@Marion: You should Marion, you really should, I'll be looking out for the....;)
Wolfgang - vu@granby from Granby, Québec, Canada
Superbe contraste or/vert (les couleurs de mon alma mater) et bonne idée pour le cadrage, mais personellement j'aurais serré un peu plus à gauche pour faire disparaître la partie de la maison à gauche du tronc.... Juste mon opinion...
21 Oct 2008 1:10pm
@Wolfgang - vu@granby: J'y ai vraiment pense Gilles, mais je ne voulais couper l'arbre a gauche, donc je n'y ai pas touche lol merci beaucoup
António Pires from Lisbon, Portugal
Wonderful season. You found a good composition to show it.
21 Oct 2008 1:32pm
@António Pires: Thanks alot Antonio, I appreciate it ;)
Janice Thomson from Canada
Oh, oh, oh! What spectacular colour. Love that tree - the texture is so grand. Stunning photo excellently framed yet again mon amie.
21 Oct 2008 2:26pm
@Janice Thomson: Thanks so much ma chere amie, I'm glad you enjoy it as much as I do :)
JJ from Jersey City, United States
nicely framed, such beautiful colors, wonderful work again :)
21 Oct 2008 2:53pm
@JJ: Thanks a lot JJ I appreciate it ;)
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
Another stunner. I am slightly jealous. You get to shoot those gorgeous colours.
Great framing
21 Oct 2008 3:27pm
@Michael Rawluk: Thanks Michael, we shoot what's around lol ;)
Viewfinder from Bradenton, United States
Nicely framed between these two "friend" trees. The golden leaves on the ground and on the tree still remind me so much of a beautiful maple tree we had on our front lawn when we lived in Kentucky. Every Fall we got a wonderful display of colors like these... and then came the rake. Heh.
21 Oct 2008 3:30pm
@Viewfinder: What's a 'rake?' lol I don't do those, thanks so much Vf ;)
Observing from West Cheshire, United Kingdom
Wonderful framing with the trees Lorraine, the leaves are really changing fast, and I think that means a really bitter winter is coming with minus 40'C and at least 5 meters of snow, but only in Gatineau.
21 Oct 2008 3:47pm
@Observing: How kind of you to warn me lol I'm use to it thanks Mike ;)
@Alun Lambert: Thanks a lot Alun :)
Michael Skorulski from Cigel, Slovakia
A lovely composition, Lorraine. it must be great to kick through those leaves on the ground. I remember the rustle they make.
21 Oct 2008 4:23pm
@Michael Skorulski: You're right it's wonderful, thanks so much Michael ;)
@Giovanni: I appreciate that Giovanni :) thanks a lot!
laughingwolf from Canada

Sammi from New Jersey, United States
Ah! So there is green somewhere in the world!

21 Oct 2008 7:49pm
@Sammi: We have all the colours of the rainbow ;) Thanks Sammi!
@jamesy: Thanks a lot Debbie :)
JoeB from Brampton, Canada
From green to gold a colourful time of the year, soon the trees will be bare and present other views.
21 Oct 2008 9:54pm
@JoeB: You're right there Joe, Limb Trees without leaves are very moody and beautiful...that is if I can catch them before snow covers them all lol
Betty from New Jersey, United States
Wonderful framing! Absolutely beautiful yellow! Bravo, Lorraine!

marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
les arbres ont des secrets que leurs feuillles se confient ...
l'automne venu, les secrets au sol sont foulés
et à tout jamais ensevelis ... arbres nos amis ...
j'aime à me ressourcer en entourant un tronc d'arbre de mes bras, je le hume, je le respire ...
c'est un grand réconfort, une douce harmonie, une osmose avec la nature ...
une photo très douce, une belle complicité, ton titre est vraiment bien trouvé !
22 Oct 2008 12:26am
@marianne: Merci beaucoup Marianne pour ce beau commentaire et compliment :)
Les from Lincoln, United States
Such wonderful colors. I love the splash of green leaves with red/orange tips. And that light filtering through the leaves in the distance. Lovely!
We had nothing but dreary, cold rain all day. Snow in the forecast for Thursday. I'm not ready!!!
22 Oct 2008 2:01am
@Les: I know, I heard possiblity of flurries here...today...well, I'm grateful though that we've had a beautiful, colourful fall here, no complaints, thanks Les :)
@Reza: Yes it's very beautiful Reza, we're very lucky to get some beauty before snow starts lol Thanks very much!
timothy from Tokyo, Japan
curse those evergreens! i mean...
nice photo. framing is fairly well-done, and i really like the different lighting in play--from the bright foreground, dimmer midground, to the brighter background.
22 Oct 2008 3:12am
@timothy: Timothy you can't curse trees lol thanks very much!
Mandy Provan from Johannesburg, South Africa
