Leftovers of Autumn

This weeping cherry is clinging tightly to its last few leaves...  I think it's almost as pretty bare as it was in peak color!

The colors in the sky that day were dramatic.  Keep your sunshine...  I love the drama!

 

Why God Made Poison Ivy

Our woodland is not particularly colorful in the fall... at least in the view from the house.   The maples and other colorful trees are deeper in the woods.  The border is filled mostly with those varieties that turn pale yellow, then brown.  But thankfully there are bits here and there of deep crimson.  Together with the bright yellowish-green hedge apples, it is a beautifully colorful scene.
