Hi everyone! We were out of town for a few days. It was really a gorgeous weekend and beginning to the week. The colors in the trees are really starting to 'pop' in certain areas. It was strange, though~we'd drive for a while and see only green, then all of a sudden it was beautiful multi-colors again. The Sweetgums were especially pretty.
The pictures were taken at a cemetery in the Ozarks that we visit every year about this time. It is planted mostly in Maples and is usually gorgeous. I think we missed it's 'peak' by a few days, as some of the trees were starting to lose their leaves. It is always hard to time our visit just right.
Hope you've had a good beginning to your week. It was cold here--50s all day today. We'll probably warm up again in a day or two.

Mary, what gorgeous pics! Love the colors.... Why is it that all the Sweet Gum trees produce such beautiful colors, except for the ones we have in our yard? This is the 3rd place we've lived at & all 3 places had the Sweet Gums that did NOT turn pretty? boo hoo Not fair! And don't you wish the fall colors would last a bit longer? At least for 2 weeks I'd say. :)

Rose Mary, there is a cemetery in my old hometown (Lebanon), that has lots of Maple trees. Always beautiful during autumn.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photos, the one of the cemetery reminds me of the one in Lebanon!
