Fall Photo's....lets share.
This one was covered in fungus and will be cut down very soon.
Off my back deck I am blessed with this.
Shroom and leaves.
These cooler days have really changed the tree's to a deeper hue.
Love the colors, just wish it would last longer.
Makes me want to bake... Oct. brownies anyone?
Love the first shot, pixie. I feel small too and I'm 6' tall.
They look good enough to eat. lol That's my DH's favorite -warmed a bit with vanilla icecream.
Nice shots, Celeste. Bat brownies look yummy! No blood was used I hope...
From today.
Lake.
One more.
Beautiful Victor, I love that last shot!!
Thanks Celeste. It was a beautiful day. That area is an abandoned ski lift.
nice, victor. Those colors are really popping amongst the green. Love it.
I can't believe my one red maple is darkening so much. This is the same set of leaves from October 13, 2008 at 7:27 PM above. Just a couple of days and they've deepened a lot.
and an update on the striped maples. this was taken around 5:20pm today, so the sun isn't shining on them, otherwise you'd be blind. It is quite a site in the morning, and makes the walls in the house a bit yellow. The light just bounces right off them.
Thanks Eve. Yes, that is quite a difference in two days.
A beauitful sight, Victor
Thank you, Maria.
Gorgeous colors.
I've noticed a lot more changing. I wanted to take some pics today but hubby had my camera.
Nice pics everyone.
I went for a drive to Naples today - absolutely beautiful. Just about peak in that area.
I agree, Allison, birch is a very messy tree. But come to think of it, how many trees are not? Evergreens drop needles, and the deciduous trees drop their leaves. Pines drop what my friend Karen calls 'rice crispies' in the early summer, when their blooming. All trees drop some kind of blossoms. Then there are those that drop seed pods, and so many drop petals when finished blooming. Maples drop whirligig seeds. I could go on.
I love trees, regardless of how messy or not messy they are. I often tell my friend Karen that I love the eastern white pines we have around here, and she doesn't like them. I think they are very stately, but I don't like them too close to a house. I don't like anything that tall too close to a house.
Pixie, I love the colors and wish it would last longer, too. I don't have enough time to go out and take all the pics I want to take. Would have to sacrifice gardening time to do that, and I just have so much to get done, especially for planting stuff. My friend Karen kept saying this past weekend that it's a shame it doesn't last longer. I pointed out that since it lasts such a short time, then we appreciate it all the more.
I loved everyone's pics. I think my favorite shot of them all would have to be yours, Victor, of the brilliant orange foliage on that one tree. That is really glowing!
Well, I have finally taken some fall pics this past weekend after going to Candyce's RU. Had a great time. Here are some of my pics.

My Dad with foliage in front of the pond at the motel where we stayed in Keene, NH. It was the Coach House Motel and Cabins. Not a great place. I don't recommend it if you want to be comfortable, though the owners were nice enough.
Otter Brook taken from the bridge at the Granite Gorge Ski Area outside of Keene.
A view of Otter Brook.
Sumac leaves and rocks.
Birch trees, a little blurry, but on of the few pics of birch I got this trip.

The Cresson Bridge. We got to see many covered bridges on this trip.
