Autumn can have some stunning color combinations. I fell in love with this tiny patch of ground cover filled with autumn color under some pine trees near a hotel parking lot in Banff, Canada.

In this patch, nature leaned into bright colors paired with warm and cool browns.

| Image 2: Red Autumn Colors |
Some leaves had bright reds blending into chartreuse.
 |
| Image 3: Magenta Autumn Colors |
Other leaves can only be described as a shade of magenta.
 |
| Image 4: Gold Autumn Colors |
Other leaves with golds and yellows also blended into chartreuse (like the reds). (Notice the grey pinecone!)
 |
| Image 5: Green Autumn Colors |
Meanwhile, the same patch had some awesome shades of bright (emerald?) green.
And to make the patch even more interesting many of the leaves had polka dots! I paused at this patch of ground almost every time I passed it during the day. The colors made my heart sing.
Below is other nearby ground cover.

You might be wondering, why share "parking lot" pictures if I'm in Banff National Park in Canada in fall? Why share photos that might be taken almost anywhere in North America? Because September has been crazy busy, (daughter moved, some house work done, other major projects acomplished), and I didn't finish the post I actually wanted to post.
I've been working on a much longer post on Larch trees in Banff Canada since August, and now I need to post any September post to meet my personal goals, ...
But here is a teaser from my future Larch trees in Banff post. Below is a favorite photo from the post I didn't finish yet.
Here are some other favorite autumn colors
from Banff...

I consider this one of my best photos from that trip.
Enjoy a wonderful Fall Season!
