The First Turned Leaves

11th 014 Its silly, but I get excited over the first turned leaves of autumn. Found this lone red branch in one of our maple trees today. I have no idea why its turned and the rest of the tree isn’t, but who cares. Its bright and pretty and I wanted to show you.

11th 013

Its been a humid day. Blah. Not my cup of tea. Tonight we have a football game to attend, and it looks to be a pleasant evening for that.

11th 017

Hey…..you have an enjoyable evening, too, and may your weekend get off to a great start!

    The change in color excites and invigorates me to no end. Our entire mountain sides just glow with the colors of fall by mid October. Wish everyone could visit me and see for themselves. So gorgeous. Soon..... very soon.

    The color is exciting. I love fall and spring but I seem to have lost both of them somewhere this past year.

    Those leaves are beautiful. The colors so deep and so many shades. Agsin I wish I could paint them as they appear in your picture. Guess nature is the best painter. Thanks for sharing this. Bernie

    Nice, colorful branch! I think it is exciting to see the leaves change. We don't get a lot here in my area but I remember Falls in Ohio - breathtaking!

    Hi, Snappy Di, Gail, Bernie, Anita, rhymsie, Trisha,

    Thank you for your kind comments! What would the world be like without the colors inherent in nature....flowers, leaves, sky....and in everything that occurs naturally, without artifice.

    Your photos are absolutely beautiful! We don't get the beautiful colors of fall that you do. We only get the yellows and oranges. Keep the pictures coming.
