Fall


Maple Leaves, originally uploaded by gardenpunk.


The other day I remarked to Chris that the maple in the backyard had started to turn. I was thinking it might not be as brilliant this year as in years past, but it was like "oh heck no, you're not gonna tell me what I can or can't do" and put on a crazy glow in the dark display starting I have no idea when because it's almost dark when I get home. But it's been since Monday for sure.

Anyhow, this picture is straight out of camera (no Photoshop), and actually in focus, which is more than I can say for the rest of the fall foliage pictures I took in the waning light tonight.

I love looking at all the trees in their brilliant colors. We have three Sweet Gum trees in our front yard and they always put on quite the show.

What an absolutely perfect photograph. I'm envious for real fall weather. Seems like Southern California just can't make up its mind. November, and it's still fire season. Wanna share some cool temps and rain?

We are way past our leaves changing so it is wonderful to get a peak at that fleeting moment just once more.

kim & victoria - I love fall. The colors are amazing!

weeder1 - It must be a Sac County thing!

garden wise guy - I hope that the weather turns cooler and wetter for you folks down in So Cal very soon. Thinking of you all.

heather - Fall is my favorite season, hands down. I love the fireplace and winter clothes!

dig this chick - That's the beauty of blogging, we get to see our favorite things reflected in the eyes of other people!
