Trees and oh the leaves!


The trees have stayed beautiful much longer this year, with little rain storms until today, and though it pulled a lot of leaves down, there wasn't any rain to pull the last ones.

What sidewalks?

    1. Yes, many came down, but then some landscape guys came around with big blowing machines and pushed them all somewhere besides our porches and walkways. The result for me is lots of dirt has been blown onto my porch, steps, doors, and the hand rails. Tomorro I'll broom them all down!

  3. I love the view of the fallen leaves on the ground. It's like a colorful carpet of leaves.

    1. They are beautiful, but not safe for the seniors who need to walk somewhere.

  5. The wind and rain took care of all our leaves. Some were colourful but most weren't. Love those colourful and vibrant trees, they're so pretty to see.

    1. Those ornamental trees planted downtown had been chosen for that reason, but my dear old maples are the result of a forest that was here before the buildings were built.

    1. This has been rare. Usually a storm takes them all down quickly and that's it...time for the greys and browns. This year has been something to really enjoy!

  8. Such beauty! We have a bounty of leaves too, but I look at them as mulch. I know they can be a hassle in some settings though.
