Fall Beauty 2017

Lilysmom — Fri, 03 Nov 2017 19:57:15 GMT

We are setting record temperatures (above normal) this Fall. It hasn't diminished the colour.

The first photo is our largest red maple, about ten years old, yet to take on it's fall colors. If you look at the right side of the photo, the change in leaves has just begun...

The right side where the colour is just beginning to change.

One of our Canadian hemlocks. This is my favorite evergreen tree. In winter is drapes with snow.

Ferns turning.

Hydrangeas are still putting out blooms.

Oak leaves

This is the crimson lace maple we moved in the Spring. It took to it's new home very well. This tree gets to be 15' wide at full maturity. As wide as it will be tall.

Sumac

This oak tree was moved from DH's family home. Happy in it's new place.

Holly for the pheasants.

Satomi dogwood showing lovely fall colors.

Hydrangea

Grafted euonymus.

Berries on euonymus

Hydrangea

Burning bush ... leaves almost gone

Oops ... same photo...

Happy Fall to my gardening friends! LM

@Desertdi @piperbay, the color I always hold my breath for are the Japanese Maples. They get such a spectacular red. The young oak is glorious too. The mature ones don't look that good. LM

@Lilysmom, your gardens are just as beautiful in the fall as in the full bloom of summer. Great pics. Thanks for posting them.

@LIG1, we do get black bears here. I hope they aren't in the background. DH has several apple trees though which are attractive to some wildlife. We just bought a webcam and are seeing what comes to the yard at night. LM

@Lilysmom

Your property is beautiful.

Amazingly 11/6 and we still have had no frost. Things are still blooming; the roses are abundant.

@Lilysmom, as I have said to you before, truly a spiritual moment for me. I am under a lot of work stress now & your “escape” is exactly what I needed. Truly appreciated, now excuse me while I go back & look again...!

@georgia bell, thanks for visiting. I spent part of the afternoon dealing with leaves from all those trees...my least favorite job. This year I bought a heavy duty leaf blower so I am having fun with that. It's doing a great job! LM
