Fall leaves in local creek.

I really love this photo I grabbed at Flower Hill Nature Preserve in Middlesex, NC last weekend. Flower Hill is a unique microenvironment of cool, almost mountainous bluffs that are nestled in an otherwise flat piedmont, and whose unique topography houses several plant species that are not found elsewhere in the area. It is also a great place to find mushrooms this time of year. :)

The woods surrounding Moccasin Creek; the reflection of fall leaves on the water in reds, oranges, and yellows creates an almost rainbow effect with the greenery and blue of the sky.

Wonderful photo, I love the colors in it.

Thank you so much!

Very pretty.

Thank you. <3

That's a beautiful shot.

Thank you! It was a beautiful place to be.

It is a rainbow, if softly muted—and here’s proof, courtesy of an online color-dropper; if this was a faux pas, I’ll delete the comment:

No faux pas, thank you for sharing!

So very gorgeous. It brings a lot of peace to look at all the colors. Thanks so much for sharing this stirring view.

No problem and thank you for the kind words.

That looks like it was painted by Monet in parts! Absolutely gorgeous.

I can see that!

Truly lovely!

Beautiful reflections. Water makes the world so alive.

That photo captures the loveliness of this piedmont's fall before that hard freeze. Thank you for sharing!

It is really lovely, isn't it? For all the times I think of moving, I am too in love with the beauty here.
