Oh, Alice!! What a view of coming Fall! We've had our first too-hot-for-Spring days, and after being out in all the after-days-of-rain humidity, the sight of those Autumn trees is more refreshing than all the GREEN we have.
ReplyDeleteAnd liquidamber---I've used that very word, but didn't know it was an actual tree---it says everything there is about the leaves.
Hope all is well WAY over there, my friend---enjoy your cooler weather and the battening down, the settling in. And little Arlo is coming! I'll bet she'll surprise you with her growth and all the things she's learned.
I live in days of perpetual surprise.
I'm so glad you're back.

How lovely to see you posting, dear Alice! Guess who noticed first? Yes, Ross, who reads blogs more often than me these days. I'm generally too tired at night to compute much during these busy spring days. Blogging is being overshadowed by thoughts of resting my weary bones on a soft matress :)
ReplyDeleteYour autumn leaves were spectacular before beginning the process of becoming 'gardeners' gold' on the compost heap.
The green of the silver elm is gorgeous against the smoke bush.
I'm glad you've been enjoying some glorious weather. You've certainly been a busy girl!

Lovely..we have actually had quite a long Autumn season.
ReplyDeleteLove the photos.
Love these Autumn leaves.
ReplyDeleteI feel much like those leaves, just now, and I thank you for your kind words of comfort, and your message to me.
Love megxx
Wow! Gorgeous and stunning photos!
ReplyDeleteGreat Autumn pics. maybe I can getting a cutting from 'my' plant next time you are up :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Autumn colours, Alice. Makes up for the lack of Autumn in Perth. After a long, hot Summer, we've entered a cooler period at last. The leaves just browned and fell off the trees.
ReplyDeleteLoved enjoying Autumn on your blog. Enjoy your next month.
Alice, your Fall colours are realy great! Autumn in Germany is coming soon, to early for me.
