:PHOTOS: What happened to fall??

Again, what in the world happened to FALL?

We woke up this morning with a blanket of snow and the temps today were about 40 degrees below the average for this time of year!

However, I did get some interesting fall/winter photos out of the deal.

I had the day off due to Native American Day and stopped at the park to take these pictures on the way to Kaitlin's school to watch her read to her class (she was Teacher's Helper today) and I also got to read a story to her class. I chose The Fierce Yellow Pumpkin which is my FAVORITE Halloween picture book...the kids loved it. I also had lunch with her and then went back home to do a little more scrapping before it was time to pick her up for the day.

All in all, a pretty good day off...

So, back to the photos. Here's my favorite six...which is your favorite??

#1...

#2...

#3...

#4...

#5...

or #6?

Please leave a comment to let me know and tell me how you spent your Native American Day...

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE #1 and then #4 is a close second. Those are incredibly beautiful.

These pictures are beautiful! Like you, my sister in North Conway, NH also got snow!!! The guy who announces the weather on a local station showed photos of trees in color covered in snow. I think they got about 4 inches. I live in southern Maine and all we've had is temps in the 50's with rain. I could care if I ever saw snow again! Great pics!

Oh, forgot to add my favorites--numbers 1 and 6. I just LOVE the single red leaf against the backdrop of yellow.

Thanks for the input, ladies! I have a hard time deciding myself, but I do lean towards the ones with the colorful leaves for sure. There just seems something odd about a tree with gree leaves AND snow!!

Love #4...beautiful colors against the white snow. And seeing trees with green leaves and snow is quite unusual!

Never heard of Native American Day! We certainly don't have that here in CA. I spent Mon at work..even tho it was Columbus Day, catching up from being away from office for 2 days. And then getting ready for the first big winter rainstorm to hit here!
Great pix!

Jill-I can't pick! I would say 4, 5, and 6. I also really like one. I would love to get one of these blown up. They're awesome. :)
Oh-as far as Columbus Day goes (that's what it is here in Iowa-I can't have Native American Day like in SoDak anymore), I had to work. Woo-hoo!
