Autumn Colors...





   This is from last year. It's the garden center in Kokomo, called Salsbery.  It's a pumpkin family on a farm wagon.
  Apples are one of my favorite things about fall. Going to an orchard is so much fun and temping to buy more than you'll need.
   The trees at the Doctor's office , where Ted will be going next month for his yearly heart check-up.
  I thought this tree was shaped nicely and so pretty with the sun on it.
  Aren't these leaves gorgeous.  I remember gathering leaves to take to school for fall projects.
  The red is so colorful, makes me want it in my yard.
   Trees at the park are fun to watch turn through the seasons.
 This is one of my all time favorite trees in town. The owners trim it to look like a big gumdrop. Love the fire bushes too. It's been an odd kind of fall so far...some trees have not turned at all and some are bare....while some have wonderful colors.
  Hope you are having a beautiful fall season. Find some joy today. XO

  3. You have such beautiful color in your part of the country. We saw some color in NC but it wasn't at peak when we left...just spotty. Have a wonderful week my friend. I've missed you! Hugs, Diane

    1. Oh I have missed you so much too Diane. Glad you are back home safe. I love all the autumn colors...it's just kind of funny how different it seems this year. My sweet clump of trees in the back woods is losing it's leaves quickly. I better get a shot of them today. Blessings, love you, Susie

  6. Only the maples have turned. It's still a bit early and it has been warm... They can take their time. It's my favorite time of year. I hope you're having a wonderful week.

  9. Susie- Those are all beautiful pictures. I remember collecting leaves for school projects, too. We even took class walks along a wooded lane to collect leaves.

    LOVE that "gumdrop" tree. xo Diana

  11. Hi Susie, What beautiful trees you have in your area! I love the brilliant reds and purples, but we don't have purple trees here. There are some beautiful maples that are just breath-taking.
    Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful week.

    1. Noreen, I just remember lots of evergreens in your state. But I love that smell of pines. I am thinking of planting a maple tree in our front yard if we cut the hickory down. Blessings, xoxo,Susie

  16. Susie, the trees are beautiful around your town. Our leaves haven't turned that red yet, they are just a burnt orange. These pictures are so lovely showing all the colors of Autumn. And the gumdrop tree is delightful. I'd love to see that in person. I love apples this time of year too. I just cut some up the other day and dipped them in melted caramel......yummy.

    Have a terrific week, dear friend.

    love, ~Sheri

  19. Those are beautiful specimens of trees touched by the glory of Autumn's paintbrush!

    Maybe ours will just be very late this year. I must get out and drive every day just to check on my favorites.
