In lieu of hold music while you're waiting for me to finish renovating and get back to the business of chick wranglin' and tomato wrestlin', I thought I would show you some pics from the beautiful fall days we've had this week. Count me surprised since we endured a drought all summer. I really thought we wouldn't see any fall color at all. Mother Nature never ceases to surprise, does she?
A beautiful tree-lined street one street over from us. Who put that telephone pole there!?
My poor cell phone just can't capture how gorgeous these maple trees are. The reds are much more brilliant in person.
And soon these leaves will join their brothers and sisters in blanketing the Earth against Winter's steely cold grasp.
But not today, says the Rose. It's a beautiful, warm, sunny fall day!
Do you know what kind of tree that is? I have been looking to get some but don't know what they are called!

Pretty pictures! Yolanda, that last tree looks like a green ash to me.
ReplyDeleteThe ones that are really red in the first pictures are maples - which variety, I'm not quite sure. I would love to have a driveway lined with them. They're so red that they look like they're on fire in the fall.
ReplyDeleteI think Lisa Lynn is correct about the ash tree. They seem to be losing their leaves much earlier than the other trees in the area.
The leaves are gorgeous, aren't they!?
