The change of the seasons from Summer to Fall is an anticipated event in our neck of the woods.
The beginning of the fall equinox began September 23 this year. Most of the Northern reaches of our Country were already celebrating the changeing of the colors at this time.
Here it is the middle of November at our latitude and the dropping of the leaves is just now occuring! After our patience trying hot summer all is forgot and we are welcoming the beauty of the cool and sometimes crispy Autumn mornings. Even the Pines seem to enjoy the change!
The cottonwoods always parade their gold, yellow, and orange cast leaves to those who choose to walk the creek bottoms. After the last energy they could muster to show their beauty to those of us who love to muse, only the leafless branches will remain. A well deserved rest from the tireless job of bringing spring blooms, shade to cool in, and the grand finale of a fully dressed encore!
Great photos and text add up to a very fine post. The colors of autumn do entertain us!
ReplyDeleteSimply beautifully captured shots...lovely!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Our leaves (for those few trees we have) won't change until January.
ReplyDeleteLucky you! Ours is all gone after that last snow we had.
ReplyDeleteNice shots. I really like the first and second ones, especially the train shot. Everything is in focus all through the shot.
ReplyDelete27 degrees this morning when I woke up, summer is definitely gone!
Yet another well presented posting! A feast for the eye and good commentary to garnish it.
ReplyDeletethose are beautiful! we don't get quite that much color here (at least not this year), but as if someone flipped a switch, the oaks started shedding leaves overnight. :)
