a red and orange wonderland
the trees on my side of the street have leaves that turn orange in the fall. the trees on the other side of the street have leaves that turn red.
the leaves were slow to turn color this year. when i left on friday for the painting retreat, there was only a hint of color in amongst the green. i came home on tuesday night and when i left to pick up atlas the next day, it felt like the trees had exploded with orange and red.
it was magnificent.
of course, a strong wind and rain blew in that night, ushering in the beginning of the end.
but it was still magnificent.
Ooooooo…look at all the copper glory… I would love to roll around in those coppery leave, just like a dog! Would Atlas like to come along with me?! hehe… Happy Day, Elizabeth… Oh, and LOVE, love, love your idea of Colin Firth playing card…mmm… yes, ma’am! ;o) Who can we write to about that, I wonder…??!! ((HUGS))
How marvelous! Thanks for sharing your fall wonderland! We have been in a drought (still are, I think), so the fall leaves have been less than spectacular. So now I’m living vicariously through you.
Gorgeous!!
beautiful! i especially love the first two photos (which is odd because in real life i love the orange leaves more than the red)
