How About Some Color?

This morning, we were treated to some sunshine peeking through the clouds and some very chilly winds! The whole day has been rather chilly, but as I walked about outside, I enjoyed the brisk air so much!

The trees are slowly transforming from their summer greens to the glorious autumnal colors that are so striking…..yes, autumn is here!

I thought I would treat my dear readers to some Bristolwood color today.  We are wondering if we are going to have the resplendent colors we so love, as it seems the leaves are dropping nearly as soon as they turn! A most unusual situation….

Yes,  this Hickory tree is mostly green, but see the golden color beginning to show?  I just liked the contrasts against the blue sky and white clouds.

How is *this* for some color? (reminds me of candy corn!)

I love Fall! It has to be my favorite time of the year! I cannot get enough of the colors, scents, (is there anything like the smell of leaves on the ground?) and I love wearing cozy warm sweaters!  If only there was a way to “can” this time of the year…..

  • Ah, yes! I am still trying to find a place on this planet where it is autumn all year round. I would even settle for part of the year being spring and part autumn, but I don’t think it exists!

    My dream is to get to your area during Autumn/Fall one year…it looks spectacular, and I would love to experience it.

  • Ian, our little neck of the woods is wonderful! Autumn in New York (NOT the city!!!) is terrific! I could never understand people leaving this behind to head south to Florida or California, unless for health related issues. I do so love our four distinct seasons!!!

    Carly, I do think you are correct. However, I would still add winter into the mix!!!!
