Maple Gold

In the last week, our big Maple in our backyard went from not showing any color to exploding with gold. And of course, there's plenty on the ground and everywhere else. Guess it's time for the rake to come out...Brittany!



And our showiest of maples, sadly to say, lost all it's 2008 leaves and is now bare. 'Tis a sad day, indeed.

Dripping Colors

The leaves continue to fall, dripping colors onto the ground. The wind the other night stripped at least half the leaves off our assorted young maples in our secret garden. Sad, I must say. I don't look forward to the bare trees of the coming winter. But, hopefully, we'll have a little snow to make everything beautiful in a new way and I'll have another reason to go outside and walk around with my camera in hand...


We'll wait and see as the colors of fall slowly fade.
