The Last Hurrah

 It won't be long now before all of the  lovely leaves are gone. Leaves fall in the fall. Then there is just the raking up to do.

While they last I have been soaking in the beauty of the colors in our yard.


Dogwood and maples






This dogwood is glowing outside our home office window right now, as the sky darkens, bringing the expected rain. 
The flowers on the kitchen table are from the grocery store now. 

Picking them is easier, but maybe less fun.

  2. You certainly have planted the reddest trees I've seen and placed them properly. I especially like the third photo with dogwood between the maples. I even accept (like) red now that the election is over except for one tyrannic person. I hope you are feeling a bit better.

  3. Your pictures capture the beauty of fall, probably my favorite season on the Mainland. In fact, your pictures should be in the National Geographic magazine - the composition, contrast, and colors are award winning!

  8. yep our leaves are finally turning the dropping fast-we even had rain for the first time in almost a year or so it seems. Now it's cold-32 degrees in the morning-winter is fast approaching!

  10. You do have such beautiful fall colors in your yard. The heavy rain we got the last two days really brought down a lot of leaves. Now I've got to start all over with the raking.

  12. I love all the red. We don't have many trees or bushes that turn red, we mostly see orange and yellow. Still very lovely but not quite the same.

  14. Oh wow! That is just so so spectacular! It must be wonderful just to look out your windows and see all that beauty you nourish throughout the year.
