This image was taken while visiting a lake in North Carolina where the leaves were beginning to change and the sun starting to set. The lake had a diverse flora of different shapes and sizes and when the Blue Heron soared over the trees and landed near where I was photographing was an extra treat to this beautiful scene. Hope you enjoy it. I did some digital painting to give it a bit of a painterly look.
Fall is the term in the North America area of the US and Canada and is one of the four temperate seasons that marks the transition from summer into winter. In the Northern Hemisphere, it is usually September that this season arrives.
The word fall for the season traces its origins to old Germanic languages. The exact derivation is unclear, with the Old English fi�ll or feallan and the Old Norse fall all being possible candidates. However, these words all have the meaning "to fall from a height" and are clearly derived either from a common root or from each other. The term came to denote the season in 16th century England, a contraction of Middle English expressions like "fall of the leaf" and "fall of the year".
