I am up in a mountain valley, surrounded by trees, so the view is mostly blocked when they are leafed out. Right now the leaves have turned and mostly dropped, had a frost Monday night, but the annuals and some perennials are still in bloom. There is some new snow on the mountain tops, but the trees on the slopes still have their bright colors.
Both pics are looking the same direction, from the northeast side looking east. The first is from up on the deck this summer, the second down on the lawn a previous year.
Have a couple other places with more magnificent views, land up on a mountain nearby, and my family place on Cape Chiniak on Kodiak Island, it is up on a cliff over the ocean with 360" views.
